What would you rate as the single most important trait to set up and sustain an organization/ business/ firm/ whatever...? Well, I guess a good idea is what you start with (no denying that) but I guess to sustain as well as grow, a vision is most important. I'm not talking of something that others haven't done so but this is a subject worth talking about - over and over again. It's still something that is required on an imperative basis in order to setup, run and grow an organization. I consider myself to be a very strong believer of the Traits Theory - theory that talks about leaders being born. They betray those traits. Anyway, this blog is not about either the theory or the way leaders are shaped. It's about a specific trait that may or may not be present in a leader - Vision.
Vision - The capability not only to identify gaps and devise/propose solution(s) but also to see beyond the obvious. Experience teaches you to tweak plans. Coaching/ workshops teach you how to plan again but vision is from within. You either have it or you don't.
You can create managers out of experience and classrooms but certainly not people with vision.
