Visioning 4 Success
The most powerful way to influence others is by sharing your vision.
Visioning is a rich process and it is not simply a vision statement.
|
Visions are future-casting and must be:
|
Visioning definition:
A process to effectively capture what success looks, feels and sounds like at a specific period of time in the future. Visioning can is powerfully used for projects, event and even interaction; personal, professional or corporate and for individuals, groups and teams. A vision is crafted in such a way that when heard or read it ignites a visual, felt-sense or visceral experience and is an anchor for tumultuous times. |
Visionary, a Seer
Someone who can see what's possible and trust that they can make it a reality.
Visionary leaders can experience a particular time in the future as though it is being lived in the here-and-now. They have a balanced appreciation of spiritual, mental, emotional and physical wisdoming. A clear vision is made real when aligned to core values, explicit beliefs and innovative actions that are congruent to the desired outcome. When one or more of these dimensions is missing, leadership cannot manifest the vision.
Everyone can learn to envision, you only need ask how.

As a leader, business owner, coach or founder how aware are you of the impact you're having on those you lead, coach and mentor?
Do you have a vision that is easily shared with your people and your customers, or is it all in you head and only you know where you are going? How clear and connected are you to the future you are moving towards, the future you're working so bloody hard to get to? Does your business plan effectively support you and your team to hone in, collaborate and set realistic strategic KPIs that motivates everyone to be focused? Are they measurable and act as a guard rail alerting you when you're off track or perhaps informs you to make a wise decision to let something go, right now, so you can move faster towards the vision being a reality, being a business success? How confident are you in your capacity to build authentic workplace communities where everyone is supporting one another to succeed? |

What is the crossroad that you find yourself at this point in time?
Peter Block asks a potent question here. I used to ask this question when life wasn't going so well but have learnt, from experience, that even when life is great taking a moment to pause and ask this question always evokes a curiosity about the future.
Travelling forward in time to meet one's future self requires courage, as it's all about possibility. According to Block "If the possibility is achievable its not possibility, it's a goal!" |
The journey of bringing a Vision to life begins when the
Vision is made consciously crystal clear, captured in writing and easily articulated to others.
Successful business ventures don't happen by mistake, they require commitment, focus, intention and attention, the capacity to envision, plan and include others. Think about it as creating a Habitat that is so healthy everyone involved thrives. Imagine yourself working in a business that is consciously creating a Habitat For Success.
Authentic leaders strive to succeed for the greater good. They have a capacity to create environments where others can take risks, build teams that are robust communities willing to support each other to actualise their full potential and they feel safe to actively participate and be part of the businesses ongoing success Genuine leaders are high in integrity, behave intentionally, stay focused, trust their intuitive wisdom, are decisive yet considered, and deeply value the contributions of other's.
The values of the business are known and are upheld, their why is shared openly, and in the past this might have been enough to succeed, but there is a paradigm shift happening in the world and a new type of business owner and leader is emerging.
Mindful Leadership and Conscious Capitalism is leading the way and the next generation of leaders are emerging wiser and kinder. Its now the business owners and CEO's who capable of responding to the mass of consumers wanting to buy products and services only from businesses who can demonstrate that they do truly value people and the planet as much as they value profits and shareholder returns.
Let's refer to these mavericks and pioneers as Conscious Leaders. These leaders are more likely to be more genuine in their approach, authentic and having little desire to control others, they'll have a coach, mentor or therapist on their team, someone supporting them to evolve from the inside-out as these leaders value emotional and social intelligence equal to IQ.
Mindfulness, Emotional Intelligence, and Social Awareness along with a 'we not me' approach is what makes businesses like Patagonia, Sounds True, Wisdom 2.0, Whole Foods Market (pre being bought by Amazon) and CEO's like Steve Macadam, John Mackey, Tami Simon, Rose Marcario, Soren Gordhamer and Jack Kornfield stand out from the rest. They are successful as they work consciously to create environments where employees are self-motivated, self-lead and feel safe to contribute passionately and imaginatively towards growing the business whilst giving customers a positive consumer experience and simultaneously are accountable for the businesses footprint and take wise action to minimise the damage done.
