Eye Of The Tiger

A tiger's eyes are the brightest of any animal; the way they bulge gives a wide angle view; they have the most accurate binocular vision of all carnivores.

Which is more necessary?

I think some leaders make vision vs quick wins seem mutually exclusive. Both are important.

Because vision leaks, we must always be motivating our tribes with reminders of what it will look like when our mission is accomplished. On the other hand, we must make sure we are making progress and quick wins along the path to seeing our vision fulfilled.

If people don’t feel like they are winning, the vision doesn’t matter no matter how grand the vision is.

If people don’t have a vision worth aiming for, showing up isn’t fun either.

The challenge then is to build a team that will keep vision high, but also be in the trenches ensuring advance is happening.

Easy to say, hard to sustain.

I know you’re probably tired of hearing more statistics about social media.

But how well do you use it?

How well does your organization, business, church or local ministry use social media to empower your vision champions? To drive change? To bring new business in the front door? To accomplish your mission?

As leaders we need to speak the language of the people we’re leading today as well as those we’ll be influencing (and being influenced by) five to ten years from now. Here’s one of the best (read: shorter and better music) updates to the ShiftHappens video series. Ignore the facts to your own peril.

And the longer version with the old, familiar Fatboy Slim track.
