What should a leader do, when he loses direction?

When leader loses direction, he should returns to organization's vision and strategy and rebuild his plans according to them  

Direction and Lost Direction is known only to open eyes! But when you close your eyes, vision is visible. One has to close the eyes to recollect where was lost and gain back the direction. Let the leader close his/her eyes for meditating stage and visualise the past and recognise the invisible lost direction to get back to track.

Keep Calm, Find Map, and Go on

Go. back to basics.

- What is the stretch vision for 5 years time?

- Where are we now?

- What are the fewest number of steps to get between the two?

- How can we take the first step with whatever resources and assets available right now?

Take massive action, find a way or make a way.

they should review the vision of company and goals, and start make new plan after eliminating all mistakes happened in last plan. then discuss this new plan with team deeply, if any has valuable point add it to your plan

The plan should be with time frame  

He has to stop and use a compass and stems in the right direction

Pause - Refocus - Take Support - Get Inspired - Begin Again!

Step down and set a role model to others

Oh you cant afford to loose direction if you are leading.  You just cant if you are a leader and a natural one at that.  

But if this still happens, one should be aware of the reason he is leading his team and to where.  the Vision, mission, objectives should be enough to remind of where he was going.  i always have in front of me my White Board, which guides me everyday, where i should be headed.

Thanks for invitation,

He should immediately refer back to the organization's vision, mission and main strategic plan in order to adjust the directions once more to the right track.
