Making Your Vision Clear and Simple to Maximize Your Team’s Success

Have you ever sat in a meeting for hours and at the end of it you feel just as lost as you did at the beginning? This is because “leaders” spend so much time making presentations look good, but they actually say nothing and have no real value. More time is invested in the slides than in the message and therefore no critical information is communicated. This is also why nothing gets done. Nothing gets done because no one is clear about what the true vision is.

If you want to take your organization to new heights, you will need to build trust. Trust is critical and one way to build trust is to be clear. Clarity helps everyone move forward in unison toward a common goal but you as the leader must have a clear vision yourself. How do you develop a clear vision for your organization? WRITE IT DOWN AND MAKE IT PLAIN. Write your vision down and repeat it tirelessly until regurgitating it becomes second nature. Still not clear? Don’t worry, on today’s show I’m going to help you develop that vision and communicate it effectively to your team to help your organization soar faster and further!
