SmarterU: Leadership Vision


Wikipedia defines Leadership as follows:  

Leadership has been described as “a process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task".[1] Other in-depth definitions of leadership have also emerged.
Leadership is "organizing a group of people to achieve a common goal". The leader may or may not have any formal authority.  Somebody whom people follow: somebody who guides or directs others.
 
 
One of the greatest vision casting moments came when Martin Luther King delivered one of the most memorable speeches in history--"I have a dream...." This speech pierced hearts and sparked a fire that still burns in the hearts of the American people regarding equality for all. 
 
It drove passion for a common purpose...and that's what vision casting is about. Generating passion for a group of people with a common task in mind. Whether your a mom and your goal is to get the house clean, a pastor launching a new ministry or a business leader driving profit or a new product you have to focus on casting the vision and getting your team to ride the wave. 

Today's Challenge:  Define your vision--whether it's personal or professional--before you can cast you must know what you are passionate about and why.

Challenge Issued!
