The Law of the Compass
Thoughts and an excerpt on a chapter from the book The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork by John Maxwell.
As a team member:
What is the vision for the orgnaization you work with? Is it clear what your role is to help that vision become a reality?
If there isn’t one help your team develop a vision. You and your team will probably be frustrated without one.
As a team leader use this checklist when you cast the vision for your team to make sure the message is complete:
- Clarity: brings understanding to the vision(what must the people know)
- Connectedness: brings the past, present and future together
- Purpose: brings direction to the vision
- Goals: brings targets to the vision
- Honesty: brings integrity to the vision and credibility to the vision caster
- Stories: brings relationships to the vision
- Challenge: brings stretching to the vision
- Passion: brings fuel to the vision
- Modeling: brings accountability to the vision
- Strategy: brings process to the vision
Hellen Keller once said “It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.”
How many people are walking around today that have no vision? Are you one of them?
Get a compass on your life and your business and be a step ahead of 95% of the population.
Got a vision? Now go put some work behind it.
