This a Blog post from a friend and leadership guru WIll Mancini…..it’s all extremely TRUE stuff – enjoy!

The 10 Things I’ve Learned in Ten Years of Visioning

* God still speaks

* If your vision is not stunningly unique, you probably don’t have one

* However clear the leader is, a surprising gap exists between the leader’s vision and the team’s clarity

* Leaders emotionally substitute two things for real vision: 1) simplistic answers (copycat vision) or 2) busyness (more is more)

* The easiest measure of sustained clarity is the ability to say “no” repeatedly, and feel good about it

* Followers need vision because the future is not here yet and their activity today lacks meaning

* The best way to know “what should be” is to do a better job knowing “what was,” “what is,” and “what could be”

* Vision moves through people not paper

* With a little training anyone can be an everyday visionary

* Vision dripping is more important than vision casting (#visiondrip)
