Vision and Goal-setting

"The very essence of leadership is that you have to have a vision."
-Theodore Hesburgh

Without a vision, it is difficult to lead a group of people. Leading a team is like going on a journey. You cannot start off on a journey not knowing what your final destination is going to be.

Goal-setting is the process of creating that vision. That end of the journey. That destination that you want to lead your team to. Having a goal allows a leader to have some direction. By taking a moment to sit down and put in writing what your final destination is, you will find that the process becomes much easier if you know what you are exactly working towards.

By knowing exactly where you're going, you'll also be able to figure out how you want to get there. This gives a leader added confidence because the leader would know exactly what he/she is doing and where he/she is going. This added confidence would definitely trickle down to the leader's team and everyone would be re-energized to work towards the goal.

So before you set off on a new task, remember, take a moment and write out your goals. It will give you added confidence and a better end-product.

"Begin with the end in mind." - Stephen Covey
