Quick Insight
We need a clear vision to reduce the decisions we must make. This gives us more time to analyze those decisions that most important to our success. Vision isn’t fluffy. It sets hard boundaries, from which all other strategic planning flows.
“Defining a vision becomes a picture of the possible, a blueprint for action, and a buffer against, the inclination to make energy choices reactively rather than reflectively…A vision statement is a declaration of intent about how to invest one’s energy. Regularly revisited, it serves as a source of sustaining direction and fuel for action.” – Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz in The Power of Full Engagement
