The Visionary: innovation begins with a vision

What is visionary leadership? 

Visionary leadership is about looking ahead. These leaders see developments before they become visible to others and translate complex issues into an inspiring direction. 

Within the Management Drives methodology, this leadership style often stems from a strong yellow drive: curiosity, analysis, and innovation. This does not mean that every visionary leader is the same, but the need to understand and innovate plays an important role.



How do you recognize a visionary leader?

Visionary Leaders: 

  1. Think ahead  
  2. Ask critical questions, inquire about the WHY 
  3. Continuously seek new opportunities 
  4. Inspire with ideas and visions of the future  
  5. Connect different insights into one vision  
  6. Encourage innovation and development 

They create space to think differently and encourage people to break existing patterns.
