Vision . . . All the best business schools, books, and gurus say that leaders absolutely must have it--so why does it appear that many of today’s leaders were absent the day that was taught? Because the sad truth is, most leaders today have not developed the visionary capacity necessary to look ahead and explore strategic futures. Or at least their so-called vision is not one that compels, inspires, and energizes their people. Vision may sound like a rare quality, attainable by only a select few--but nothing could be further from the truth. In Anticipate, strategy and leadership expert Rob-Jan de Jong explains how anyone can develop in themselves a visionary leadership. It simply boils down to sharpening two key skills: 1) the ability to see things early, and 2) the power to connect the dots. Using the author’s trademarked FuturePriming process, which helps distinguish signal from noise, readers geared toward fine-tuning these two basic but essential skills will discover how to:• Tap into their imagination and open themselves up to the unconventional• Become better at seeing things early• Frame the big-picture view that provides direction for the future• Communicate your vision in a way that engages others and provokes action• And moreWhen you can anticipate change before your competitors, you create enormous strategic advantage. That's what visionaries do . . . and now so can you.
