Workshop on Visionary Leadership for Public Sector Directors/Leaders

We live in a rapidly changing, fast-paced world where our brains are literally inundated with thousands of bits of information every moment. That’s why our attention span has become very short and that the competing requirements for our attention actually is phenomenal that has never been before. So, from a leader’s perspective, to keep your team focused on what they are trying to do is certainly a rising challenge in today’s business world. The ability to create a vision to paint a picture of the future that people buy into is a trademark of leadership expertise. And, it really is like painting a picture of what the future will look like. It’s a leader’s ability to get an emotional buy-in from the people who are hearing that vision into that picture and also their understanding and belief that they can make a contribution to its realization. In organizations, a vision statement articulates what the organization aspires to achieve.

• Why visionary leadership is important?
• Know if you are a visionary leader
• The attributes of visionary leadership
