Inspired vision will cause people to lay down their lives. It creates a wave of human emotion that floods the senses, drowns fear and carries ordinary people to extraordinary heights of achievement. In 1620 a vision of religious freedom drove 120 people to brave 67 days on the storm-tossed Atlantic in the Mayflower. Vision crystallizes human values, inspiring unusual levels of commitment, intrinsic motivation, faith and purposeful action. Values turbocharge human emotion, allowing individuals, organizations and communities to break the chains of self-imposed psychological limitations which hold us back.
Vision is essential to leadership.
With it, individuals, organizations, communities, countries and cultures flourish. Without it, they perish. The greatest power and potential of vision is realized when it is transformed from a personal vision to a shared vision. We positively impact our world by freeing the human spirit and releasing its potential through the development of effective, empowered leaders who responsibly and enthusiastically serve the needs of others through the actualization of worthwhile, predetermined, personal and community goals, thereby creating the endless flow of abundance intended to be enjoyed by all. Striving together to make our shared vision a reality validates our purpose, and adds meaning and value to our work and our lives.
