Are you driven by a vision for something that doesn’t exist yet, but you’re determined to make it a reality? Or perhaps you’re on the cusp of pursuing a significant goal and feeling that stirring inside you.

Our ‘5 Stages of a Vision’ framework will help you navigate the journey from conception to completion, categorizing what to expect and providing a map for each stage.

In our recent podcast episode, we delve into the Five Stages of Vision, providing a framework to help you navigate and triumph in your own leadership journey:

1. Bothered: Identify the discomfort that drives you to change. Write down what’s not working and envision a better scenario.

2. Prepare: Shift your mindset from "Can I?" to "How can I prepare for this to happen?" Gather the resources and support you need, while staying flexible.

3. Execute: Communicate the problem, solution, and required actions clearly. Ensure everyone understands their role and the steps ahead.

4. Focus: When facing criticism or challenges, respond by reiterating your vision. Adapt systems as needed and use setbacks as learning opportunities.

5. Party: Recognize and celebrate your team, effective processes, and outcomes. This boosts morale and sets the stage for future success.

In this episode, we’re continuing to dive into the specific challenges of leading a business where one or more family members are involved. Today we’re looking at the dangers of getting stuck in a cycle of "I know best" leadership, which can stifle creativity, innovation, and growth in your family members. Learn the five negative consequences you might face by leading for validation, and discover the three key moments that signal a healthy succession plan is in place.

We’re diving into the following key topics:

• Leaders who prioritize validation over impact stifle creativity, innovation, and growth in their team members, especially family members.
• Family businesses can get stuck in a cycle of "I know best" leadership, which undermines morale and leads to disengagement.
• Secure leaders who are confident in their abilities create an environment where team members can learn, experiment, and take ownership.
• A healthy succession plan involves a vision transfer, public adoption of new systems implemented by the next generation, and the handover of key relationships.
