Step 2: Leaders Know Where They Want to End Up — Leaders Know Their Destination

Microsoft, the leading software company has a motto, “Where do you want to go today?” The second thing all leaders have in common is they know where they want to go, they know what they want to achieve, and more importantly they know who they want to become.

Are we not building partnerships with our employees and clients? If so, how much more effective would they be if we helped them through that process.

In this case, awareness allows you to set clear objectives. Just like we have to know where we’re starting from, we also need to have a clear vision of what we want to achieve. Help your employees and clients create clarity for their desired destination.

Dr. Edward Banford from Harvard stated – “people that rised in their fields were able to look long term.  When you walk do you look at your feet?”

Leaders have taken the time to create a certain level of awareness that the people who are following do not yet have for themselves. They require, expect, and sometimes even demand that they be told which way to turn.

They require it because they simply don’t know the way. That feeling of “not knowing”, which happens to all of us, is what makes us feel insecure. Uncertain. Unsteady.

Where do you want to go, meaning what do you want to achieve, create or experience – what is it you want to do that will give your life a sense of personal fulfillment, purpose or meaning, a direction that will allow you to make decisions and have certain kinds of experiences…..
