An intelligent man and passionate about the future of his company, he was quite clear about where he wanted to take the company. Excellent post! Great checklist to test the validity of the vision. There is a big push to teach “executive presence” these days. There is a dependency on their presence to ensure things move forward. The real test of leadership is what happens when you’re NOT there. A critical juncture in the life of these organizations is whether they can make the transition from leader dependency to a shared vision…unless, of course, they are lucky enough to find another charismatic leader as a replacement. Visionary leadership vs Charismatic Leadership Summary on Visionary Leadership Visionary leadership was first coined by Daniel Goleman in 2002 and described in the book Primal Leadership. Thanks Jayne for revealing the true line of these two Leaders. For visionary leaders, this is a vision of the way things could be if people accept their ideas and do as they say. And, I love how you take the time to respond to all your comments. These are individuals who can sell a vision to people, and make themselves the face of that vision. Of course any group rallied around a shared vision of the future will of course be more apt to work well in the absence of the leader. The charismatic theory’s driving force is Max Weber’s study on political obligation. From the sound of things, Richard thought he was a Visionary leader, with the vision being the glue and not him with his charisma. When Steve Jobs insisted on the iPhone, iTunes and other Apple products, he did so with a big vision of something that had never been done before.In each of these cases, visionary leaders inspired people to partner with them over an idea in which they believed for a better future. And Walt Disney’s death in 1966 ushered in nearly two decades of unsettled leadership. The Transformational and Visionary Leader Leaders who subscribe to the notion that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” are often described as transactional leaders. Often the company vision is simply described using a broad brush of providing a great product or great service. I shall keep on working. He was such an unusual man. You might enjoy my post on characteristics of an effective vision as it is in line with your own thinking. He was a brilliant man who I have the deepest respect for, and it is such a huge loss that he died so young. The excitement and energy was palpable. But let’s be clear; people should not think those two things are related. Culture, defined as “the way we do things around here”, has always seemed to be that glue that holds things together when I’m not around. When Nelson Mandela stood up for what was right despite imprisonment, he inspired a vision for a better South Africa. Thanks for your insightful comments, John. Once again Thanx to you Jayne for your insightful thoughts. It is definitely the place to for every leader to start. But not everyone sees it that way. And when they leave, the magic disappears. I personally wouldn’t separate culture from vision since I believe it is a natural fall-out as a result of embracing the vision (as I’ve defined it). You can unsubscribe at any time. Most high performing organizations are led by ordinary people who help their people achieve extraordinary results. Leaders, individuals who seek to inspire others to follow them, need something that will make people want to do as they say. To his credit, he understood immediately what the problem was and shifted his behavior. Visionaries are world changers, industry changers and life changers who share several traits in common.

Jesse It is where true-lasting-leadership begins-Mission(goal, vision, strategy, purpose etc), Commitment (to that vision, goal, strategy, purpose), and Sacrifice (for that vision, goal or purpose). Thanks for the post Jesse! We need to consider the entirety of who he was and what he did. All without me! Please do more of this. Glad my post was helpful! Dependence on a charismatic leader is often the case in mid-size and family-owned businesses, where the “sparkle” is dependent on the charismatic personality of the founder. Through the attractive visions that they give, they are able to draw followers to themselves. Your email address will not be published. Interestingly, however, when I asked them about the vision for the company, they each told me I should discuss that with Richard. Because the vision is understood and owned by the people throughout the organization, it continues to provide guidance after the leader has gone. Glad to hear that approach is helpful. Micah McDunnigan has been writing on politics and technology since 2007. I just came across this article in Wall Street Journal: Bio as Bible: Managers Imitate Steve Jobs. With visionary leaders, the “glue” is the shared vision. You raise a good point, Micah. A vision answers “what’s next” after a goal has been achieved because it illuminates the purpose and underlying values. Keep working on your model, I think you’re on the right track. It’s interesting that you bring up Steve Jobs. Hi Joe, Thanks for adding your insights and digging deeper into the qualities of the vision itself. Hence, being conscious of the leadership approach is critical. This could be religious in nature, such as a vision of a possible afterlife or a narrative of how humans fit into the big picture of the universe. I will have to make the most of it to transition from a Charismatic Leader to a Shared vision person. [A great way to help maintain a diet is hold a mental image of wearing those great jeans].
