Leadership is often lauded for inspiring—developing bold visions, organizing teams, and driving advancement. But vision, lacking the power to realize it, is aspiration without sway. True leadership occurs at the intersection of ambition and activity. It involves not just laying out the destination, but making the journey, organizing people, and monitoring progress necessary to get there.
Leadership is often lauded for inspiring—developing bold visions, organizing teams, and driving advancement. But vision, lacking the power to realize it, is aspiration without sway. True leadership occurs at the intersection of ambition and activity. It involves not just laying out the destination, but making the journey, organizing people, and monitoring progress necessary to get there.
The leadership plan, therefore, is the subtle art of alignment—of translating high-level purpose into ground-level performance. In a churning, fast-changing business environment, successful leaders are not those with the largest ideas, but those who can translate vision to disciplined execution and keep momentum and clarity intact.
