As a Leader, You Need to Think Big

Great leaders think big. Their focus is outward and not just on what is right in front of them. It is past that. They view the world in soft focus, so they can use their peripheral vision.

Every job description for leadership positions should read: Think big and then communicate that picture to your team effectively.

So how do you do that?

You do it by constantly having conversations with your team, other leaders, and your mentors to keep yourself grounded in the issues and challenges. So when you look to tomorrow, next month, 5 years down the road, you can create a road map that is dynamic and strong, because it is a result of many people’s perspectives.

You embrace your team’s “pipe” dreams and shout them into the universe. You commit to being the champion of your team’s goals. You understand positivity is contagious.

You don’t put unnecessary limitations on yourself, your team, or your organization, because you know that the outside world will do that for you.
