Effective organizational leaders begin their leadership with envisioning what they would like their organization to accomplish and become. They create a picture of the ideal organization and then develop a process that inspires, motivates and engages the members of their organization to follow them.

Think of what would create the “ideal Lodge” and use it to define your vision for your Masonic leadership and for your Lodge. Assume you have just completed your year of service as Worshipful Master. Write your report to the Lodge membership describing the successes your Lodge has accomplished. Avoid using the words “I” and “My” when referring to accomplishments.

This will define the type of leader you would like to become and create a vision of the Lodge you would like to create. This statement will become the basis of a working document that will expand and develop over your service on the Line.

Begin by making some notes of accomplishments that will become “My report to the Lodge”
