On the Power of the Compass and Lens

Vision is overrated. Indeed, there is a place for this concept, but it is more important that the leader develop two essential tools: their “compass” and their “lens.” The compass helps us know; it gives us a sense of direction. The lens helps us see; it gives us unique perspective. With the world changing so fast, it is sometimes difficult to maintain a crystal-clear vision, but with a transcendent combination of “seeing” and “knowing” the leader can still guide their organization to the right place.
