Seeing Everything

I am a big-time Terry Bradshaw fan and love hearing his take on players following games. While watching him after the Patriots vs. 49ers game on Fox Sports yesterday, he made the comment that San Francisco’s quarterback, Brock Purdy, has “broad vision; he sees everything.” I got to thinking about this and that is a trait of all great leaders. This broad vision translates to making decisions. Leaders that can see everything are certain about the consequences. The difference between quarterbacks and other leaders is that quarterbacks only have a few seconds to read coverages, go through their progressions, and execute a decision.

Leaders with broad visions can see the bigger picture and understand how various elements within an organization or community fit together. This perspective allows these leaders to anticipate future challenges and opportunities, align team goals with the larger mission, and cultivate an inclusive environment where diverse viewpoints are valued.

Seeing everything means we are not only aware of immediate concerns but also consider long-term implications, trends, and the impact of decisions on different stakeholders. As leaders we need to be proactive rather than reactive, inspiring others to work towards a common goal while fostering innovation and adaptability.
