Somewhere, over the rainbow…..
You get some leaders at the very top of organisations that can articulate a vision, for that is surely what it is, for the organisation, that is so far from reality that it is almost a mirage.The most dangerous sort of leaders in this category are those that persist with their thinking, irrespective of those other members of the Board that see things differently. I know there are exceptions that prove the rule, and Richard Branson always springs to mind.
But the reality is the existing state of the organisation. If it is already fundamentally lacking in best practice, if it has a track record of poor decisions and ineffectual leadership, if staff or members are absolutely and totally confused about what the organisation stands for, if some of the Board themselves would rather hold their counsel than join in with the robust debate that is necessary, then watch out.
In these circumstances it is the blue sky thinking can actually destroy the organisation.
