Success should always feel satisfying. The journey may not be, especially at first. And again when you realize the goal isn’t to get there, it’s to stay there. This is when temptation becomes compelling.
From yesterday’s blog: People bank on a vision statement to be more important than the organizational vision. Harsh reality, no one knows what the vision statement is. Weirdly, every organization has a vision statement, yet it’s literally worthless. Why? Because no one knows it.
Therefore…
Collective, enterprise-wide leader’s visions are what can, and should, ignite excellence.
But few know its power and worth.
Anyone can dispute and/or disagree with what i just said, but my research is deep and broad.
i kid you not, this is a perverse and pervasive reality.
My research also exposes that leaders aren’t leading, they’re managing.
“Managers” do not create transformational, inspiring change by managing their way forward.
Insight: Try picturing Martin Luther King saying, “I have a strategic plan.”

i love writing these blogs. There’s so much opportunity to say whatever i want to say. Blogging on breaks from the all day hurricane Milton cleanup.
Until my role at Disney Institute, i never considered the difference between a vision and a vision statement.
i was enlightened to discover the difference is remarkable. And, additionally, i unintentionally discovered most never consider the important difference (unless they were in my classes).
As a bonus, this enlightenment literally set me free to uniquely own my personal leadership journey.
For tomorrow’s blog: people bank on a vision statement to be the most important. But no one knows what it is.
