Are you a Visionary CEO that has a creative mind and always coming up with new ideas? Or do you work for someone who has a hard time focusing on finishing one initiative before pushing the team to tackle the next?
These are descriptions of a Visionary-Minded CEO. They may be high energy with a drive like nothing you have ever seen. Often times the Visionary CEO will stop at nothing until they get what they want. The problem is that what they want constantly changes and that exhausts everyone around them.
Most often they have a good heart and care deeply for the well being of others. But they are often misunderstand by those around them and others have a hard time understanding them.
I should know all about this personality type because it was ME. I was just made this way. My mind loved to chase dreams, make things better and create new things all the time. But it drives other crazy!
Being a Visionary CEO is what made me successful overall, but at what cost? Before I truly understood how to lead a company, I was often railroading others in my company, talking over them, giving orders, and other really bad leadership traits.
The worst trait of all was lack of focus and constantly changing directions. Nobody wants to work for that person. It's the definition of madness.
But with help from some books I read, other business owners like me and really focusing on getting organized and setting goals, I mastered this gift of Vision that was horrible when it came to leading others.
Stop, breathe and organize your thoughts. Find ways to keep your mind from racing. Serve others before yourself!
If you know someone like this, it's very hard to fix. Please don't judge them too harshly. When they can harness their Visionary thoughts to focus them for the good of the company and growth, they ARE the person you want to work for.
Fast growing, exciting companies often have a Visionary in the leadership team. Without their Vision, business would be very boring!
