Performance Leadership Model: Lead with Compelling Focus

Visioning is important to any leader. It has to be a clearly communicable picture of the organizational future, aligned with the mission and values. A clear vision can help to provide a direction and purpose for the employees. Great visionary leaders are able to periodically adjust the direction in which you lead your subordinates.
