Sudoku Leadership Lesson #2

Step Back to See the Vision of Success

When you play Sudoku, do you labor over filling each individual square with a number or do you step back and look at how the numbers relate to each other within a series of box clusters. Stepping back became a key factor in improving my Sudoku game and is also a key factor in developing effective leadership skills. Seeing the big picture allows leaders to share a vision with their team. The vision gives your team a purpose and that purpose gives your team motivation to have soaring performance. So, next time you play Sudoku, step back – see the big picture – see the vision of your fast, accurate puzzle completion – when playing in competition, see your score soaring.
