This book describes four key foundations and 25 different actions leaders can practice to become more effective in training their eyes to see things tomorrow that are currently invisible. It helps leaders and managers to become better observers of their current reality by practicing getting better at getting better. The goal is to get better in the way we lead, the way our team performs, and the results we accomplish. If done in the right way, visually posting your improvement targets is the key to driving more personal growth, as well as more cross-functional collaboration and cooperation in your work activities. The most unique aspect of this book is that it suggests leaders use visual tools.
Visual Leadership is the fourth foundational element the author encourages people to practice. The primary purpose of visual performance metrics isn't to make sure things are working well in your department. It's to create a thinking environment that makes it easier for multiple departments, teams, and groups to work together. It is relatively easy to come up with performance metrics for your team, but what about metrics that help "us" to work more effectively together? Good visual reporting practices create "information democracy." They eliminate filters that obscure knowledge between layers of management and between departments. They help to create an environment that is much more robust and open, making it easier to be in touch with the "actual reality." And perhaps the most exciting of all, visual tools can help an individual learn to lead more effectively. The power of using visuals in this way is underutilized in most organizations.
Whatever new behaviors a leader is trying to accomplish, visual reporting can facilitate progress and ensure accountability in developing those new habits.
