Leadership: Who has your crayons?

Great Visionaries and Leaders are great, only because the people on their team make them great! No one can go that road alone. This is what I have observed. Great leaders, and more accurately, great visionaries understand their role of “drawing out the picture.” In other words they are masters of drawing an image of where they are going.

However, the visionary must stop there! Once the picture is drawn, the visionary has to hand those on their team the box of crayons, and trust them to color in the picture! If the right people are on the team, they will be ever so careful to color in between the lines, careful of choice of color, and who has the steady hand to touch up the “small” areas. If all goes according to plan…A masterpiece will emerge!
