What Makes the Difference in Visionary Leadership?

Visionary Leaders Draw from Multiple Intelligences


Ever compare yourself to people who appear to be great leaders? Some folks wonder what it takes to become a leader with clout. Consider this angle… some leaders stand out because they typically take approaches different from the pack. Do they draw these out of a hat like magic? Not likely… Then how do top leaders develop so many of their gifts and talents? What can we learn from them?


Dr. Ellen Weber suggests that visionary leadership comes from developing “smart skills,” which are an interweaving of soft and hard skills. Her recent blogs featuring Katie Couric and Dr. Bill Cala provide specifics about how to lead with the brain in mind. Have you ever considered what might happen if you developed some of your weaker areas? Start small and see what happens! If you look through new towers in your mind, beginning today, where might you see yourself leading in the next five - ten years?
