January is a time when many of us set goals and create a mission and vision for the coming year.
Often during the year we (and our team) forget the mission or lose enthusiasm for carrying it out.
Lance Secretan, a leadership expert, encourages substituting a mission statement with a dream statement.
A leader’s role is to inspire. Dreams inspire us. They are born from passion. They invite creativity and possibility. By offering hope, people are motivated to move toward the dream.
From dreams we create visions which lead to action. Remaining enthusiastic about the dream reminds us why we need to act and what action to take. Dreams create the energy to move.
So this year, try dreaming. It might be just what you need to awaken you!
