How to create a clear vision and get unstuck in your leadership journey

How to create a clear vision and get unstuck in your leadership journey

Ever feel like you know what you want but can’t seem to get there?

You have an idea, a goal, something you really want to achieve…

But somehow, it’s taking forever to make any real progress.

Life keeps getting in the way—endless to-dos, distractions, and that feeling like you’re just going around in circles.

Does this sound familiar?

One main reason this happens is because of a lack of a clear vision.

When you don’t have a strong vision guiding you, it’s easy to get sidetracked.

Instead of making intentional moves toward your goals, you find yourself reacting to whatever’s right in front of you.


Your vision gives you direction, focus, and purpose.

When you’re guided by a bigger picture, you make decisions based on where you want to go, not just on how you feel in the moment.

This focus activates your brain’s ability to spot opportunities and pathways that support your vision, making it easier to stay committed, avoid distractions, and lead yourself (and others) with clarity.

Imagine paddling in the same direction, fully aligned with your purpose.

That’s the power of vision.


What are the benefits of becoming a visionary leader?

Creating a vision statement can be as easy as answering three crucial questions.

But how can it really impact the way you lead your teams and build a successful organisation?

Being a visionary leader is about having a guide in decision-making and creating motivation for your team. 

They are able to communicate to the team what they see in the future and paint a clear picture of what they hope to accomplish.

They are more skilled at anticipating future trends, so they are better prepared to deal with problems that may occur, and take advantage of opportunities when they arise. 

Understanding your vision provides a framework for you to accelerate your growth and deepen our impact. 

In order for your team to perform at their best, you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to do?
  2. How will you do it?
  3. What impact do you hope to make?

Gather your answers and write them down in this format:

To [what you want to do]

by [how you'll do it]

so that [what impact you hope to make]

It's time to make decisions about your self-leadership and be the visionary leader that your future self will thank you for.
