Before going to communicate two visions (first is my personal short and long vision as a leader and second is for the organization), I need to tell you what organization I belong to as a next leader. My organization is DHPC. DHPC is an abbreviation for "Dining Hall Piano Concert". It is the club activity that manage concerts held at the dining hall in ICU.
Defining a Long-Term Vision
1. My personal vision
I think there are two qualities and behaviors that will be required for me to lead my organization to The Edge.
First is treating every member equally, that is, never treating someone differently. Since human being, I may have likes and dislikes of some members. But even so, I must treat every member equally. I must look at their eyes while communicating with them. When a person who wants to join with us comes, I will be willing to welcome him or her. I help him or her to make friends with other members as much as I can.
Second is being flexible but having non-negotiable thoughts. Be willing to accept critical feedback. Members may give critical feedback to me. It cannot be said that others think things you think are right are right. However, being too flexible is not good because it means an easy compromise. Look after your non-negotiable thoughts.
Third is making a good relationship between members.
2. The Edge Goal for our organization
Never be afraid of failure because success is an extension of failure, not opposite sides. So, in order to achieve this goal, we must do the following thing.
Facing failure and making the most of our setback. It is important to hold a meeting to review the each concert.
Focusing Energy on Short-Term Goals
1 & 2. Key opportunities for action and structures and routines for them
It is important to hold a meeting for our activity once a week and assign work to members. So they feel they have roles in this organization and have a sense of momentum and forward movement.
3. "Engaging distractions"
I assign work to a member who is not in charge of it usually. He or she can have an experience the novel sensation and find new charms in the work.
4. Milestones


Hi Shaw,
返信削除What a great post!
Thank you for connecting so well with the text and relating it to your own leadership responsibilities.
I especially like your point about facing failure and making the most of setbacks. Lance Armstrong, the great cyclist, used "Turn every negative into a positive" as his motto, which is similar.
