Transitioning people from "benefiting from to participating in" is one of the secrets of thriving organizations and leaders.
How do we recruit, invite and ask people to participate in the vision of what we're trying to accomplish?
If your vision currently outpaces your resources, you're on the right track.
You can't create raving fans with a small vision.
Vision-carriers are vision-casters.
Vision is a Team Sport.
How do we create more vision carriers for our organization?
VISION:
- what is the problem we are trying to solve? Why are we the one to solve it?
- "I didn't hire you, I selected you.
- Own a space in the land of possibility. Lease a space in the land of reality.
- If you don't live in a land of possibilities, you will not attract vision carriers. And vision carriers are vision casters.
- David McCullough The Wright Brothers
Thriving organizations are create vision-carriers.
- Whose job is it to cast vision for our organization?
- For a thriving organization, Everyone's.
- Vision-casters are vision-carriers. / Vision-carriers are vision-casters.
People by in to the vision in order to benefit from it.
People buy in to the vision in order to contribute comfortably to it.
People buy in to the vision enough to invest in it. (This is the land of the vision carriers)
VISION IS NOT:
- limited to a one time event
- about assuming the best about your communication
BRAND POSITIONING STATEMENT:
- for far to long the church has been known for what it is against, we are for Gwinnett.
Vision is never urgent until it's TOO LATE.
The Vision question:
What did I do today to cast vision for my organization?
Vision not repeated is just a one time dream.
Leaders are repeaters.
- 5 years it took to integrate 'my pleasure' at CFA
Recruiting Vision Casters:
Start where you are.
-Ask what is our problem to solve and what we are doing to solve it.
- Exactly how many people do you need to solve this problem.
- Unspecific requests lead to unspecific results
Use what you have.
- technology is wonderful but it will never replace looking someone in the eye and asking them "Will you help me?"
Do what you can
- Leverage Stories.
- vision casters are great story tellers
Things to do to create more vision carriers:
1) Think Abundantly.
2) Plan Intentionally.
3) Execute Consistently.
4) Celebrate Frequently.
Push through the no. Celebrate the Yes.
