\nVisionary leaders are the builders of a new dawn, working with imagination, insight, and boldness. They present a challenge that calls forth the best in people and brings them together around a shared sense of purpose. They work with the power of intentionality and alignment with a higher purpose. Their eyes are on the horizon, not just on the near at hand. They are social innovators and change agents, seeing the big picture and thinking strategically. There is a profound interconnectedness between the leader and the whole, and true visionary leaders serve the good of the whole. They recognize that there is some truth on both sides of most polarized issues in our society today. They search for solutions that transcend the usual adversarial approaches and address the causal level of problems. They find a higher synthesis of the best of both sides of an issue and address the systemic root causes of problems to create real breakthroughs.<\/p>\n

VISIONARY LEADERSHIP
\n\u00a9 2001 Corinne McLaughlin<\/p>\n

Are you someone with a vision burning inside that seeks to manifest? Do you see yourself as a visionary?<\/p>\n

What is it that makes a visionary become a visionary leader? A visionary may dream wonderful visions of the future and articulate them with great inspiration. A visionary is good with words. But a visionary leader is good with actions as well as words, and so can bring his\/her vision into being in the world, thus transforming it in some way. More than words are needed for a vision to take form in today\u2019s world. It requires leadership and heartfelt commitment.<\/p>\n

A visionary leader is effective in manifesting his or her vision because s\/he creates specific, achievable goals, initiates action and enlists the participation of others.<\/p>\n

What are the qualities and abilities of true visionary leaders? What is the mysterious inner process within leaders that enables them to work their magic and radiate the charisma that mobilizes others for a higher purpose?<\/p>\n

Visionary leadership is based on a balanced expression of the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical dimensions. It requires core values, clear vision, empowering relationships, and innovative action. When one or more of these dimensions are missing, leadership cannot manifest a vision.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

VISION is the art of seeing what is INVISIBLE to others.
\nJonathan Swift<\/p>\n

A visionary is someone or something that thinks about the future or advancements in a creative and imaginative way. A person who is ahead of his time and who has a powerful plan for change in the future is an example of a visionary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1182,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
