Creating and Leading the Vision Managing Vision and Purpose | Strategic Agility | Dealing with Ambiguity | Learning on the Fly
An individual with strength in this cluster understands the powerful unifying and liberating impact that a broadly shared vision has on an organization. He seizes opportunities to tell the compelling story about why the organization should strive for a particular future and how current decisions bring it closer. He knows that his organization faces scores of decision-making opportunities each day. He also knows that he cannot make all of them; often others have even better qualifications to make them. He allows those best qualified to decide but he accepts the responsibility for the decisions that others in the organization make. He acknowledges that the ambiguity inherent in many situations requires making decisions under conditions of uncertainty. It also requires monitoring what happens and learning from the consequences of those decisions. Despite the conditions of uncertainty, he has a clear sense of what the future holds in terms of promises and perils. |
