From John C. Maxwell’s book, Developing the Leader Within You 2.0, John writes about the importance of vision for a leader. He writes, “Developing the visionary within you. Since vision is the indispensable quality of leadership, you don’t want to find yourself in a leadership position or with leadership responsibilities without it.” He suggests that we identify our vision and increase our vision. To identify our vision he writes, “If you don’t have a clear vision for your leadership, then spend some time asking and answering the five questions contained in the chapter:
- Look within you. What do you feel?
- Look behind you. What have you learned?
- Look around you. What is happening to others?
- Look above you. What does God expect of you?
- Look ahead of you. What is the big picture?
To increase your vision, he writes, “If you’re not ahead of your people, you will eventually lose your value as a leader to them. You need to improve your ability to see more and before. To do that, focus on these three areas:
- Spend time with people who inspire you to dream bigger.
- Ask questions to help you see farther and wider.
- Develop a vision growth plan.
