- Written in an enjoyable story format, making it an accessible and easy read
- Shows how to develop the three key elements of a compelling vision and how to engage your vision so you can go full steam ahead!
Through a beautifully written, engaging story about two people who are struggling to create visions, both for the company where they work and for their own lives, Blanchard and Stoner detail the essential elements of creating a successful vision. In Full Steam Ahead! you'll learn to use the power of vision to get focused, get energized and get great results; create a vision that touches the hearts and spirits of everyone in your organization; and create a vision for your own life that provides meaning and direction.
When do we need vision? During times of growth, change or opportunity-so that we know we're headed in the right direction. We also need vision during times of uncertainty-when we've lost confidence in our leaders, our institutions or ourselves. Instead of focusing on "what's next," we need to refocus on "what's first." Getting back to the basics means knowing who you are, where you're going, and what will guide your journey-having a vision. This is the place from which we must start (or revisit) if we want to thrive. When work is meaningful and connected to what we truly desire, we tap into a productive and creative power stronger than we ever imagined.
Ken Blanchard and Jesse Stoner show how to create a vision for your organization, and for your own life, that will unleash your power and potential and allow you to go Full Steam Ahead! They offer numerous examples of effective visions and show exactly how to create an enduring vision that will guide you on a daily basis.
The lessons of Full Steam Ahead!! are revealed through the inspirational story of two people who were able to create a vision for the place they worked and for their own lives. Jim Carpenter, president of a mid-sized insurance agency, didn't get the "vision thing." The agency was doing well, but Jim had a strong sense that things could be much better. Ellie Atkins offered a fresh perspective. Together they discover the three elements of a compelling vision: significant purpose, clear values, and a picture of the future. They also discover how to ensure that the vision comes alive through understanding the principles of: how it is created, how it is communicated and how it is lived.
The lessons Full Steam Ahead!! are surprisingly simple, practical and powerful. They demonstrate that vision is not only necessary, but also possible and achievable.
