People are drawn to leaders who can paint a picture of a future that they want to participate in, a future that will be good for all members of a team or company. It can be for any quality initiatives ( TQM, Horenso, SPC, TPM, 5S, Gemba, Muda etc).
In envisioning the future, a farsighted leader does not ignore reality but aspires to something attainable. An appropriate vision for repoting, contacting or consulting ( a HoRenSo Culture of Japan) should have a realistic time frame, and leaders should be able to explain what success will entail and talk confidently about what can be accomplished. Leaders must be able to speak about their visions in a compelling manner to indicate they are team projects and that everyone must contribute in order for them to succeed.
Another key behavior of farsighted leaders is the ability to see past obstacles. Leaders cannot ignore problems or become overwhelmed by them; instead, they need to devise ways to move beyond them. All the best. Contact us at anubha@prismphilosophy.com
