“It is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist.”
– Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Political Vision
Have you noticed the term “vision” gets thrown around a lot in corporate life? Personally, I love it. It can rally teams of people together; clarify where an organizaiton aspires to be; and differentiate a company from the competition in a big way.
As long as others do not attempt to sabotage your efforts…
…and that is where “vision” usually runs into trouble.
We are actually made to believe we have limits. Who made that decision? Was it someone threatened by our energy, risk taking, and success? Someone who clings to power by manipulating others to “know their place” and to understand “how things are done around here?“
I’m calling BS on that.
Wish List Vision
Instead of talking about the vision you have for yourself, your team, and your organization, do this instead:
– write everything down
– pull your Personal Board of Directors together and talk with them
– put your thoughts, ideas, and plans into action
Your vision does not have to be a fleeting wish list of a life you long for, but have accepted will never become a reality before you even put forth any effort. It can happen in your professional life, and your personal life too.
See your future. Make it happen. Today.
How About You
Keep your eyes focused on your vision of what you can become. Do not allow the risk-averse cowards in your organization to bully you into staying as lame as they are…you are so much more.
I’d love to hear from you.
No Excuses.
