Craft and Anchor a Compelling Vision with Your Team
from Leading at a Higher Level: Blanchard on Leadership and Creating High Performing Organizations by Kenneth H. Blanchard
How to Apply This
-
Draft a Vision Together Featuring Purpose, Picture, and Values. Engage your team or organization in dialogue to clarify: Why do we exist (purpose)? What does success look like (picture of the future)? What will guide our journey (core values)?
-
Communicate the Vision Continuously. Don’t let the vision fade into a poster—keep referring to it in meetings, decisions, feedback, and celebrations. Be relentless, like a third-grade teacher, in reminding and connecting actions back to vision.
-
Model and Reward Vision-Based Behaviors. Hold yourself and others accountable for acting in alignment with the vision and values. Celebrate examples where people live the vision; call out misalignments kindly but firmly.
