Two To Remember

Some movements or revolutions are started off with just a few people who have a vision but lack the skill to organize or knowledge in how to accomplish their goal. Once a vision has been shared then it is the leader's prime and fundamental responsibility to assure that the full resources of the movement are effectively brought to bear to achieve that destination. L'Ouverture, when he embraced the vision of freedom for the slaves of San Domingo, was able to bring his political vices and integrity to the political leaders that created the vision of freedom.
             .
             Believing in the vision, regardless of how passionately is not enough. A leader must be able to communicate the vision frequently and effectively. They need to be capable of articulating it in different ways to different constituencies. Great communication is the ability to take something complicated and make it simple. L'Ouverture had an advantage in communication that most slaves did not have as he had some schooling and was just as comfortable talking to a fellow slave as he did to a field hand.
             A leader can never assume that the vision is fully understood by all. They need to be almost missionary in style as they continually and consistently preach the gospel of their vision. Doing so will allow them to change the perception of people as to what is important for them. Nkrumah was able to gather supporters for his group because he used simple language that which everyone from peasant to worker could understand. With this simple approach to everyone, he was able to explain the goals and tasks of his vision.
             Words need examples and examples are needed to communicate purpose, direction, and motivation. The example that is set is just as important as the words that are spoken. The old saying that actions speak louder than words has never been more true than here. The example they set is at least as important as what they say and how well they manage the work.
