The Bible says without it, the people parish... When I think of the power of a vision, I think of the brave soldiers who charge up hills with machine gun nest shooting at them. Nobody does THAT without a vision. That the end goal is so important, that they are a part of it (ownership), and at that moment in time, they are the instrument to move the vision forward; or let the vision stall right there. That person, charging up that hill, knows how important the end goal is, and knowing that they will likely be slaughtered isn't the point, it is that end goal, the greater good, mustering their courage, understanding that they were born for such a time as this, may God be with me on my journey... Adrenaline pumping; Out of the foxhole and on my way; Rat tat tat all around me; I move forward, I move forward, forward In Contrast To be "Driven" by a leader, when you do not "own the vision" is more like cattle being driven... Dogs nipping at your heals, hearing the cracking of the whip, not knowing what is next, to cross a creek, or be "led" into slaughter. No vision, No common good, no courage. Frustration growing, Fear rising. Confusion all around me; Bark, Bark, Bark; Crack, Crack, Crack; Driven, reluctantly Driven forward, Driven forward, Driven Quite a contrast, but this is all too real in the offices and work places all around us. A few with the upper feelings, way to many with the crack of the whip in their ears, and in their dreams... We need to remember the play that was presented. How we feel about the boss, how we are felt about as the boss.. I look forward to Bill Hybels talk on Inspire Us. To me it is the other book-end to the Vision presentation. Start with a vision.. Apply all the leadership tools in the middle, and inspire those you can to contribute, to lead, to participate, to roll out of the foxholes of their cubes for the journey and mission God has placed them into for such a time as this... Ah.. a Vision.. The Bible says without it, the people parish…

In Contrast
To be “Driven” by a leader, when you do not “own the vision” is more like cattle being driven… Dogs nipping at your heals, hearing the cracking of the whip, not knowing what is next, to cross a creek, or be “led” into slaughter. No vision, No common good, no courage. Frustration growing, Fear rising. Confusion all around me; Bark, Bark, Bark; Crack, Crack, Crack; Driven, reluctantly Driven forward, Driven forward, Driven

Quite a contrast, but this is all too real in the offices and work places all around us. A few with the upper feelings, way to many with the crack of the whip in their ears, and in their dreams…

We need to remember the play that was presented. How we feel about the boss, how we are felt about as the boss..

I look forward to Bill Hybels talk on Inspire Us. To me it is the other book-end to the Vision presentation.
Start with a vision.. Apply all the leadership tools in the middle, and inspire those you can to contribute, to lead, to participate, to roll out of the foxholes of their cubes for the journey and mission God has placed them into for such a time as this…

He challenges me every time I hear him speak. My take away is the PROCESS for developing, refining and sharing the vision. As a classroom teacher, I have a vision for my students each year that I TELL them about. How much more powerful if I could get buy in from each of those 10 year olds! They are always excited in August and they believe they can do it when we talk about it, but after just 30 days our vision has certainly leaked! My head is swimming (hopefully not in peanutbutter) trying to determine the PROCESS I need to make this happen in my leadership setting. Am I willing to die for my vision? So far in all my years of teaching I would have to say no. But have each of those children been worth dying for? Yes. This year, I will knock myself out reaching each student. What is your vision? Are you the owner willing to die for it? Hybels is an amazing communicator. He challenges me every time I hear him speak.
