Leaders must create a Shared Vision to be successful

Successful "Leaders" are the ones who are able to challenge the status quo, envision the future through exciting possibilities and successfully enlist others in a shared vision of the future.

In order to be able to do this, one must be able to establish his/her credibility as a "Leader".This can only be achieved by building an organizational culture around a core set of values that people believe and endorse. Couple of the values which  have a critical bearing on this are honesty, integrity, mutual respect, professionalism, walk the talk, zero tolerance on politicking, etc. A "Leader"  has made his mark when he/she is able to condition the culture of an organization based on a core set of shared values since then  he/she has been successful in creating a platform to nurture and build a shared vision. Once a Shared Vision is created its all about going after it with passion, commitment, energy and drive!

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!!

LEAD the WAY as if there is NO TOMORROW, but PAUSE to PONDER as to what YESTERDAY could have been !!
