Take 5 Series - "Perspective"

The four essentials qualities of effective leadership are like the four primary colors from which we get all the colors once they are blended. These four essential elements of leadership are:

1. Character
2. PERSPECTIVE
3. Courage
4. Favor

Today we will discuss PERSPECTIVE.

PERSPECTIVE enables a leader to see and understand what must happen to reach the target. 

Leaders see the big picture and the little process.

1. They first choose their VISION (what is the goal?)
2. They then choose their VENUE (What is the strategy to reach it?)
3. Finally, they choose their VEHICLES (What systems to use to move ahead?)

Steps for developing PERSPECTIVE

1. Watch the news or read the newspaper and ask,: What could be done to solve these problems? choose a crisis and list solution steps you would take if you were in charge.

2. Groom the optimist in you. Read and listen to positive books and podcasts. Feed yourself with big ideas from great people.

3. Write out your dream. What would you attempt to do if you did not fear failure? 

4. Interview a visionary leader. How do they think? How do they perceive things?

5. Identify one burden you've embraced. Set some goals to address it.

6. Post photos, pictures and quotes that represent your goals and dreams in your room. 

I hope this adds value to you in some way in your sphere of influence.
