What picture are you painting?

Just as an artist steps back from their canvas to envision the final image, a leader paints
the bigger picture for their team. This picture isn’t just about the present; it’s about a future that stretches beyond the day-to-day. It gives the team a clear sense of direction, helping them make
informed decisions that align with long-term goals rather than simply reacting to short-term opportunities.

How can you develop your leadership team’s skills with the bigger picture?

• Provide the vision – offer the outline for success, while allowing the freedom to bring creativity and unique perspectives.
• Inspire rather than dictate – much like an artist blending colours, empower your leaders to invite their teams to contribute ideas, fostering a collaborative environment.
• Promote open discussion and debate – where each team member feels ownership over their role in achieving the bigger picture.
• Cultivate innovation – ensure that more ideas and solutions are generated collectively.
• Shift the focus toward future goals – inspiring leadership that emphasises trust and empowerment versus micromanagement.
• Encourage continuous learning – help leaders expand their perspectives by learning new approaches and adapting to changes.
• Foster a culture of feedback – promote regular, constructive feedback that aligns individual contributions with the team’s overall vision.
  

The benefits of working with a qualified Coach for Leadership development: A qualified coach will help leaders refine their vision, providing an external perspective that enhances clarity and focus. Coaches guide leaders in stepping back to see the broader landscape, challenge assumptions, and explore possibilities. This collaborative process strengthens the leader’s ability to paint a compelling, cohesive bigger picture for their team.
