Vision is an Indispensable Quality - Cedrick LaFleur

Introduction
Where there is no vision people will perish. 
​
“Vision gives significance to the otherwise meaningless details of our lives... Vision brings your world into focus. Vision brings order to chaos. A clear vision enables you to see everything differently.” Andy Stanley 


Show Objectives
The objective is to help the entrepreneur leader understand vision casting is one of the responsibilities they can not abdicate.  It is 100% the leaders responsibility to help the team see the vision. 

Law of Navigation: Anyone can steer a ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course. 


Key Issues 
Do you see the world the same way you did 10 years ago? 20 years ago? What changed for you over the years in how you see the world? What stayed the same? 
 
How has your vision given you a roadmap for your leadership development? 

If the leader doesn’t advance the vision or see the vision differently today than they saw it 10 or 20 years ago, no one else will either.  Leaders are required to see more, see before and see farther than anyone else. 
 

What You Need to Know
VISION STATEMENTS 

“If the leader doesn’t see the vision, the people never will.” When have you seen this occur in your experience? 

1. What You Can See Determines What You Can Be 
2. You See Only What You Are Prepared to See
3. What You See Is What You Get 

What You Need to Do
HOW TO INCREASE YOUR “MORE AND BEFORE” 
“Cherish your visions and dreams as they are the children of your soul: the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.” – Napoleon Hill 

What steps can you take to increase your capacity for your vision? 

1. Know There is More “More and Before” Out There How are other people determining your vision? 
2. Develop a Process for Finding More “More and Before”

Nothing will happen unless you are willing and able to paint a clear picture of your vision for people and mobilize them to join you.
ASK: How clearly can you paint your vision for your people?


APPLICATION: Develop the Visionary Within You

What is your answer to these five questions?

1. Look Within You: What Do You Feel?
2. Look Behind You: What Have You Learned? Look Around You: What Is Happening to Others? 
3. Look Above You: What Does God Expect of You? 
4. Look Ahead of You: What Is the Big Picture?
