Lecture #4:
The Head of a
Great Leader
Part IV: The head of a great leader
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2
The heart and the head of leadership tells the world where you are going, who you are and what will guide you
In becoming a great leader, we need to answer these three critical questions:
1. What is the VISION I have for my life? Not what will I do, but what will I be remembered for.
2. What is my purpose or MISSION in life? What is it that I meant to do while I am here on this earth?
3. What are my VALUES? What are the key building blocks of what’s important to me that helps me make decisions to achieve my vision and fulfill my mission?
In leading great teams and organizations, we also need to answer these three critical questions:
1. What is the VISION for our team/ organization? Not just what will we will do, but how will others take notice and remembered us? How will our staff know where we are going? Will they too be onboard with the direction and course we have set?
2. What is the purpose or MISSION of our team/ organization? What is it that we are meant to do while here on this earth? How will we make a difference in the world?
3. What are our VALUES? What are the key building blocks of what’s important to us that helps us accomplish our mission and move closer to achieving our vision every day? Do we all agree upon and act upon these values? Do these values guide our decision-making?
Leadership is about going somewhere. Effective leadership begins with a clear vision.

Understanding your personal VISION, mission and values
vision
A Compelling Vision has Three Components:
Purpose
Picture of the Future
Embedded in Values
11
A compelling vision…
A vision or view of the future, is an ongoing, evolving, hopeful look into the future that stirs the heart and mind of people who know they will never see its end or limit.
12
Definition of Vision
The power of seeing, foresight, imagination.
Vision is discovered not necessarily created. It is what gets you up in the morning. It’s where you are going.
13
Vision –where are you heading?
Leading like Jesus involves understanding our calling and having vision for where we are headed in life grounded in values that shape and define us.

Creating your own vision, mission & values statements
In the moodle is posted a Vision, Mission & Values Reflection Assignment based on the learning from today’s lectures and assigned readings. You will have one week to complete it.
Pay attention to the following ideas, examples and discussions in preparation for you to think about and reflect on your own vision, mission and values.
How to create a vision statement
“When I look around, I learn something, and that is to be yourself always. Express yourself and have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it. Start from the root of your being and ask yourself, ‘how can I be me?’ ”
Bruce Lee

mission
What’s your mission?
Jesus: You know that among the nations of the world the great ones lord it over the little people and act like tyrants.
But that is not the way it will be among you. Whoever would be great among you must serve and minister.
Whoever wants to be great among you must be slave of all.
Even the Son of Man came not to be served but to be a servant—to offer His life as a ransom for others.
Mark 10: 42-45
The Voice Translation
How to create a mission statement
“My mission in life is not to merely survive, but to thrive and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor and some style.”
Maya Angelou

How to determine my core values
“Values can’t just be words on a page, to be effective, they must shape action.”
Jeffrey Immelt
“When your values are clear to you, making decisions becomes easier.”
Roy Disney
Values are like a compass, guiding our decisions, shaping our pathways
Our values tell us what is important in our life.
They are the guiding principles that help us make decisions, that tell us how to evaluate our successes and the things we say yes or no to.
Our values are a like a compass, they point us in the right direction.
