Ep. 33: Navigating Leadership Vision: What is your leadership lens?
In today's episode, we're diving into the world of leadership vision and how leaders shape the future of their organizations. We'll introduce three distinct leadership types: the "Then and Now" leader, the "Now and Next" leader, and the "Near and New" leader. Each type offers a unique take on scalability, innovation, and organizational growth.
The "Then and Now" leader sticks to tradition, preferring comfort over change. Decisions are centralized, empowerment is limited, and innovation is rare.
On the other hand, the "Now and Next" leader focuses on immediate results and gradual growth, prioritizing current initiatives. While somewhat scalable, this approach might lack innovation.
Finally, the "Near and New" leader is all about vision, seeking big growth and embracing innovation. Strategic planning is key as they navigate towards a future state with clarity and purpose.
Join us as we explore these leadership types, their strengths, weaknesses, and how they fit into today's evolving leadership landscape.
Tune in to gain insights into effective leadership vision and learn how to tackle tomorrow's challenges with confidence and foresight.
