Leaders have to practice the power of 10, or be able to zoom in and zoom out. You need to be involved in the micro activities and strategy and also be able to zoom out to see the bigger picture.
Zooming out means setting the vision and mission for your team, looking at future trends, and creating long-term strategy. Zooming in means building individual relationships, focusing on singular projects, and having one-on-one conversations.
Leaders are often good at zooming in or zooming out, but it takes practice to be able to think both ways and swift back and forth between the two.
Being a great leader is all about vision. Leaders who are capable of looking at the bigger picture can prioritize tasks more effectively, set better goals and have better time management. By developing complete perspective of a situation, leaders can make decisions which drive long-term results, ultimately advancing their career.
