A vision must be a clear picture of an organization as its leader believes it can and must be. The clarity test is whether the followers can articulate the vision to one another. A vision must contain a clear destination, but one that demands development over time. A vision be from the heart of the leader and bear the fingerprints of the people. A vision is a mental picture of what tomorrow will look like.
Visionaries develop present resources as a platform for tomorrow.
They constantly draw the destination but carefully detail the journey. If not, take the time to re-think your vision so that it accurately represents the best of you and your organization. I have read Dr. Maxwell s material for several years and have always found his ideas and notes to be a great blessing as I struggle through meeting the challenges of various levels of leadership. I trust you gleaned some nuggets which you can apply to your ministry.
