I was in a meeting recently and listened to one of the leaders of the organisation gave a success report of their desired outcome on one of their projects. Being aware of the project, I smiled and thought to myself, success is easy when you spell out what you want, make it go viral in the organisation, such that it becomes an objective that everyone loves (or, at least agrees with) and seek to make a reality.
Business leaders who set big goals and facilitate successful projects have a way of communicating organisational visions in such a way that everyone thinks of nothing else than on how to bring the vision or goals to pass. Human beings are naturally selfish, and will always seek out their own first out of whatever they do. Successful business leaders understand this, so they empathise and leverage on it.
How They Do This:
Share The Vision:
I don’t mean communication now, I mean dividing the vision like you divide an inheritance. How many people will share an Inheritance? Not an easy thing to do. But, by the Law of Giving, sharing multiplies things beyond their measure. And people will readily die for what they own.
Make people own a part of the vision, and they will protect the whole vision/organisation. This is beyond salary and benefits. It is making your employees your first shareholders, and not just partners in labour. Too many people out there are looking for what to own, give them one. We have too many labourers out there and few shareholders.
Action Exercise: Become a liberal entrepreneur, not carelessly, but, skilfully.
