Leadership = Motivation: the follower's view

Kouzes-Posner's second-most-named characteristic (70%). Forward Looking is not the same as visionary in the cinematic sense; it means the follower trusts that the leader has thought ahead, has a sense of where the work is going, and is making the small choices today against a picture of next year. Maxwell's Law of Navigation lives here: anyone can steer, but a leader has already charted the course.
