Sensemaking e Visioning

Ontem à noite, ao ler o número de Fevereiro da Harvard Business Review, encontrei o artigo "In Praise of the Incomplete Leader" de Deborah Ancona, Thomas Malone, Wanda Orlikowski, e Peter Senge. Qual não foi o meu espanto quando... o artigo começa a falar da minha última paixão: "sensemaking". Depois, ainda por cima fala de "visioning".

"Sensemaking and relating can be called the enabling capabilities of leadership. They help set the conditions that motivate and sustain change. The next two leadership capabilities—what we call “visioning” and inventing—are creative and action oriented: They produce the focus and energy needed to make change happen.
Visioning involves creating compelling images of the future. While sensemaking charts a map of what is, visioning produces a map of what could be and, more important, what a leader wants the future to be."

"They use stories and metaphors to paint a vivid picture of what the vision will accomplish, even if they don’t have a comprehensive plan for getting there. "
