Leadership is Recognized and Reliable
I recently participated in an organized bike ride called the "Tour of Dallas." I rode with my husband and a good friend. My friend was riding beside me, behind me, in front of me, wherever there was room. We got split up on a few occasions and to find me she looked for someone wearing the color I was wearing. The trouble was, the color I was wearing changed on more than one occasion throughout the ride. It was a chilly morning so I started out with a red wind breaker on. Then I took that off and was wearing a black tank top. She laughed saying she "never knew what color Kaylene was going to be in" each time she saw me.
Does your leadership message change frequently? If it does, you are making it hard for people to follow you.
Beginning steps to help your people follow you:
1. Develop Your Vision. A vision is a bigger picture than what can be seen today. As a leader, it's critical to spend time developing your vision.
• Is it inspiring? People naturally want to be a part of something bigger than them. Something meaningful. Create a vision that your people want to be a part of.
• Does your vision make you get out of bed in the morning excited? So keep working it until you are excited!
• Will it make the people you lead, get out of bed in the morning excited to be a part of what's going on? Sky's the limit for the group that is excited and focused! Create a vision that gives life to your team.
