Leadership Thing 5 – How do I show vision as a leader?
Vision for social service workers means thinking about such questions as: How could things be better for the people who use our service? What can I do to make this happen? What part can I play in achieving my organisation’s vision? How do I ensure that those I work with share this vision, and are committed to achieving it? How do I encourage improvements in performance?
