The ability to prioritise the development and maintenance of genuine, meaningful relationships is a crucial ingredient to our leadership success. Michael Rowell

When our vision is clear, with a level of detail, it enables us to build towards it strategically, one step at a time. If our vision is blurry or confusing, it’s hard to know where to start or what we need to do. Michael Rowell

Vision, or seeing a better future than the present and seeing what others cannot, provides us with the raw material resources to inspire. Michael Rowell

Vision brings us fresh inspiration by outlining to us how the impossible can become possible and breathes life and hope into seemingly dire situations. Michael Rowell

When we connect with vision, it creates an empowering momentum inside us, fuelled by hope in the possibility that things can change. Michael Rowell

A defining factor in the quality of our leadership is our vision. If we do not have vision, we cannot lead. Michael Rowell

Most of us will likely find our leadership roles in the area of followership, because our starting point to enter our purpose is often through supporting someone else’s. Michael Rowell

As leaders with a conviction of purpose, we carry a burden of personal responsibility for our cause. We are not prepared to say, ‘It’s someone else’s job’. Instead, we proactively volunteer to be part of the solution, before being asked. Michael Rowell

When we reach this level of conviction, the concept of other opportunities holds no attraction to us. The only opportunity of interest is to fulfil our mission. Michael Rowell
