Leaders who navigate do even more than control the direction in which they and their people travel. They see the whole trip in their minds before they leave the dock. They have a vision for their destination, they understand what it will take to get there, they know who they’ll need on the team to be successful, and they recognize the obstacles long before they appear on the horizon.
First–rate navigators always have in mind that other people are depending on them and their ability to chart a good course, and the secret to successful navigation is preparation. When you prepare well, you convey confidence and trustworthiness to the people.
You see, it’s not the size of the project that determines its acceptance, support, and success—it’s the size of the leader. Leaders who are good navigators are capable of taking their people just about anywhere.
