I would like to share a few of my thoughts on what will constitute Leadership in the future. First, leaders must articulate a compelling Customer focused Vision . Vision is like a lighthouse - pointing the way and showing the hazards. It must be powerful enough to ignite the combined E mphasis on Quality is a fundamental requisite for Leadership imagination of employees and provide a rallying point to create a positive stretch. The Vision must always be slightly beyond reach, but not an impossible dream either.
Nothing unites the common energy of high potential talent as a shared Vision.
The leader must thus communicate the Vision in a way that it generates enthusiasm. Second, Leadership has to be built on a strong foundation of Values . If Vision gives direction, Values set the boundaries. Values not only make success enduring but also help in building strong, resilient organisations that can stand up to any crisis along the way. Values need leaders to be absolutely transparent in whatever they do.
