Shared vision...is better than 20/20


Do your palms start to sweat when you are at the eye doctor's office and they ask you to read the eye chart? Or how about when you are renewing your driver's license and you have to read the eye chart? All the sudden I feel like I'm blind and I'm going to miss something even though I have 20/20 vision.

Do you think your staff ever gets that sweaty palm feeling when they are handed a new project, new initiative or faced with a new dilemma? There are probably times when your staff feels blind even though they have the power to complete the project, set a new initiative or conquer a dilemma, they just need a little guidance to get started.

Shared vision...is better than 20/20

Here are some ideas that might help you show your employees the light..
  • Tell them your story
  • Get your staff involved in living the vision
  • Make resources easily available
  • Set interim goals and celebrate success
  • Momentum is contagious
Drive your staff to achieve a higher purpose, together, by sharing your vision. When you share information they will feel more involved in the overall picture, which will empower them to work towards the common goal. Striving for a common goal will produce results you never thought possible. Give it a try, you will be surprised!

Make it a great Friday!
