9 Responsibilities of a Leader

By way of reminder - as we prep to look at Visionary Leadership, I wanted to remind you all that the #1 responsibility of a leader is to:

1)  Keep the vision:  You have a deep, clear understanding of where you and your organization are headed. You draw on your knowledge of the environment and understanding of the organizational mission, vision and core values. You find opportunities to create (or remind) colleagues about a vision, seeing all the elements – the customer, the constraints, the possibilities, where people inside want to go. You are responsible for casting broad long-term vision, as well as immediate short-term vision – see big and little.  You look down to anticipate roots in the path and look up to see the broad mountain vistas.


2) Interface between the organization & the world
3) Step into the fire (Accountability)
4) Understand business as well as your industry
5) Shape culture – values & expected behaviors
6) Define success – what does success look like
7) Coach and teach
8) Develop oneself
9) Hold on to optimism
