Principle 1: The visionary leader must do
on-site observation leading to personal
perception of changes in societal values
from an outsider's point of view.
Principle 2: Even though there is
resistance, never give up; squeeze the
resistance between outside-in pressure in
combination with top-down inside
instruction.
Principle 3: Transformation is begun with
symbolic disruption of the old or
traditional system through top-down
efforts to create chaos within the
organisation.
Principle 4: The direction of
transformation is illustrated aimed by a
symbolic visible image and the visionary
leader's symbolic behaviour.
Principle 5: Quickly establishing new
physical, organisational and behavioural
systems is essential for successful
transformation.
Principle 6: Real change leaders are
necessary to enable transformation.
Principle 7: Create an innovative system to
provide feedback from results.
Principle 8: Create a daily operation
system, including a new work structure,
new approach to human capabilities and
improvement activities.
A true visionary leader must, therefore,
train himself to perceive the future societal
needs with a business perspective.
