"The tales we tell are just as important as the facts and figures we learn. Stories help us try on different possibilities to see how they fit!" (Brian Fies).
Having the ability and making the time to glimpse the future is an important part of the managers role. Here's how you can get started -
- Imagine the future. Get wild! What does the future look like to you? How will you know when you have crossed your finish line?
- Think backwards. What steps were taken that created the end picture. How did you get to the end result and who did you need to get there. What money was required? Did you need venture capital? How many employees will you need along the way?
- Create practicable steps that you can implement today. Start with the smallest steps and then move on from there.
- Keep reflecting and keep updating the end picture and stay flexible enough to get there.
Creating a vision for people to work towards is one part of management. Working out what steps are required to get there separates the dreamer from the visionary.
