Transformational Leadership and Leading with Vision

October 9, 2019 by Michelle Ray

 

Many people talk about transformational leadership, but what does it actually mean? For me it’s all about vision.

It’s all about being a person who is constantly looking to raise the bar, and who is thinking long term, and is very cognizant of the big picture. And this is something that if you possess this ability to lead with vision, it’s much easier to bring other people along with you.

They can be as excited as you are about the future, and they can see that you’re not going through the motions to just achieve something, you’re very purposeful, very intentional, about achieving those results, and doing so with the support of your team, and you know that it’s a team effort. And you’re looking to create something extraordinary. And I think that’s what differentiates a leader who is exciting to work with, and is genuinely excited for everyone else to experience the same feeling.

So leading with vision is another great trait of the authentic leader.

“She’s always whining,”  “He’s retired on the job”,  “Not worth the trouble trying to motivate her”,  etc. etc.

When it comes to managing employees who have seemingly tuned out, shut down and stopped contributing, it is easy to understand why leaders and managers become frustrated, abandon hope of a turnaround, and give their attention to the more engaged team members. After all, dwelling on the negative employee is an energy drain, hinders our effectiveness and takes a toll on managing higher priorities.

As leaders, most of us agree that managing difficult people is challenging. The usual default position of leaders who give up on unproductive employees is based on the premise that they are simply too much work. However, can we be certain that our summation is entirely accurate? [Read more…] about Leadership Lesson: Look for the Good!
