“Vision is knowing who you are, where you’re going, and what will guide your journey.”

—Ken Blanchard and Jesse Stoner Full Steam Ahead!



Four-Part Vision “Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained ….” — Proverbs 29:18 (NAS)

3. Your Values What do you stand for?

4. Your Goals What do you want people to focus on now?



Great organizations have a deep, noble, and significant purpose that inspires excitement and commitment.

Your Purpose/Vision



Leadership always begins with a picture of a preferred future.

Your Image/Picture of the Future



High performing organizations have clear values

Your Values



Like water in a bucket, vision evaporates and must be constantly replenished—that is, communicated.



If an organization doesn’t have a clear purpose and sense of what business it’s in, we think something is wrong.

Yet few people have a sense of their life’s purpose.



All good performance starts with clear goals

Your Goals
