I work with an awesome cover artist.
Not being graphically skilled,
I have no idea
how she comes up
with her covers.
I DO, however,
share with her
my vision for the cover
before she works on it.
If it is an action packed story,
I’ll ask for a sense of action
on the cover.
If the story is geared toward
one strong emotion,
I’ll ask for that emotion
to be conveyed on the cover.
I don’t tell my cover artist
how to achieve this.
I convey the vision
and allow her to do her thing.

“I believe that
great leaders
enable
as much as they lead.
When leading
your job is to create
a vision of the future
that is so clear
that it motivates people to action
and inspires them
to do their best work.
This vision should also be
just hard enough
to accomplish that
it feels within reach
but keeps everyone excited
and challenged
to strive for what lies ahead.
As a leader you do not,
and often should not,
know all of the answers,
and that is where you enable.
By setting the vision
and motivating your team
you can then empower them
to create the path forward
and to help uncover
the answers to
hardest challenges along the way.”
What is your vision
for your business
and for the task
you’re delegating?
