Are you a visionary leader?
I came across this article on 8 principles of visionary leadership and thought I would share it with you. After you read it tell me what principles you will apply so that you can be the visionary leader of your own life...
Principle 1: The visionary leader must do on-site observation leading to personal perception of changes in societal values from an outsider's point of view.
Principle 2: Even though there is resistance, never give up; squeeze the resistance between outside-in pressure in combination with top-down inside instruction.
Principle 3: Transformation is begun with symbolic disruption of the old or traditional system through top-down efforts to create chaos within the organisation.
Principle 4: The direction of transformation is illustrated aimed by a symbolic visible image and the visionary leader's symbolic behaviour.
Principle 5: Quickly establishing new physical, organisational and behavioural systems is essential for successful transformation.
Principle 6: Real change leaders are necessary to enable transformation.
Principle 7: Create an innovative system to provide feedback from results.
Principle 8: Create a daily operation system, including a new work structure, new approach to human capabilities and improvement activities.
