Great leaders don’t just assign duties—they connect the dots between the daily grind and the bigger picture. When you speak only in tasks—“Send the report,” “Call the client,” “Finish the spreadsheet”—you get short-term support.
People may do the job, but they rarely feel inspired doing it.But when you lead with vision—“Let’s show our client we truly understand them or “This report will help shape smarter decisions for our team”—you create meaning. You invite people into something larger than themselves. Vision shifts a checklist into a cause. It transforms effort into engagement.
When team members understand the why, they’re not just checking boxes—they’re showing up with heart. Purpose fuels passion, and passion delivers results. It’s not about hype. It’s about helping people see how their part matters.
Before your next team meeting at home or at work, take 60 seconds to reframe your message with vision. What’s the larger “why” behind this task?

Meetings
Meetings Make the meeting a SPAT meeting. Short Predictable Available Timely I think Dave Barry Sums it up well. " If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be...
Celebrate
Celebrate It is an important component of being a leader. It took me more years to learn about celebration than I would like to admit. As a company, I gave out a bonus as the end of the year. Yeah!! But so what? It was a complicated matrix - it took days to figure...
Quote #1
Quote I’m writing/authoring a book using quotes. Initially I started with the all the motivational quotes I could find. Then I looked at a book my daughter gave me with women’s quotes. We, us women, are different in how we process and how we quote. Early 1700's we...

This is so true. True leadership does not leave people dangling. Thanks for sharing.
Good advice. I don’t have leadership skills.
Having a vision and helping others own it, is so key to people working well together.
The opposite is also true. If all you talk about is vision… nothing happens until you take inspired action.
It’s not just leadership roles at work…it’s roles in relationships as well.
Leadership is all about relationship as you know.L
