Finding Your Vision for Leadership

Earlier I wrote about leadership as a spiritual discipline. The basic process of leadership is having a vision of the future and articulating that vision such that you get others to align with it.

But how do you get the vision in the first place? Do you just sit around gazing at your navel waiting for God to strike you? Well, actually, you have to help God.

The vision comes from looking around at your situation. Maybe in your church. Or your community. Or your business. And it occurs to you that there is a problem that is looking for a solution. You figure out how to solve that problem. That’s your vision. Now your journey of leadership has begun. Good is it’s something you’re interested in. Better is if it is something that many others are also interested in. Best is a solution that is a benefit and joy to other people.

Go for it. What are you waiting for? There are lots of problems waiting for a leader.
