For the past couple of years, I've had the good fortune of speaking at the Broad Advantage conference in New York. Part of Janet Hanson's amazing organization, 85 Broads, this weeklong program offers an array of speakers and experiences for about 100 college women who are interested in business careers.
A few days ago I asked each member of this year's group to sketch and then describe to the rest of us her personal leadership vision--a compelling image of an achievable future. Leadership vision is an essential means for focusing attention on what matters most; what you want to accomplish in your life and what kind of leader you wish to be. A useful vision has to be rooted in your past, address the future, and deal with today's realities. It represents who you are and what you stand for. It inspires you, and the people whose commitment you need, to act to make constructive change towards a future you all want to see.
