benefits bring dreams fact ignore leaders people vision
Positional leaders ignore the fact that every person has hopes, dreams, desires, and goals of his own. And leaders must bring their vision and the aspirations of the people they lead together in a way that benefits everyone.
vision culture
Don’t tell them what you’re going to do - that’s vision. Do what you are going to do – that’s culture.
vision cost daydreaming
If your vision doesn't cost you something, it's a daydream.
leadership vision stubborn
Failed plans should not be interpreted as a failed vision. Visions don't change, they are only refined. Plans rarely stay the same, and are scrapped or adjusted as needed. Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan.
leadership vision alive
Good leaders must communicate vision clearly, creatively, and continually. However, the vision doesn't come alive until the leader models it.
vision catalyst status-quo
Discontent with the status quo is a great catalyst for vision.
people leader vision
The success of a vision is determined by its ownership by both the leader and the people.
dream vision teammate
Your teammates will stretch your vision or choke your dream.
passion vision possibility
Vision without passion is a picture without possibilities.
people vision helping
By the time I went to the pulpit, the vision was never on the same level as when God first gave it to me; it was clearer and bigger. It was better because the body of Christ complemented what God had given me. So when I gave the vision to the congregation, the influencers already bought it. Then after the people have heard my message, and migrate to the influencers, these influencers are already my allies and help me communicate the vision to the congregation.
people vision trying
When pastors ask me if their people will buy this vision, I ask them two questions: "Have they bought into your leadership?" If they haven't, don't ever try to pass on a vision. Second, "Have you processed this vision correctly?"
people giving vision
All visions begin with relationships. My relationship with God is where I receive the vision; my relationship with my people is where I give the vision. If those relationships aren't what they could be or should be, on either side, the receiving or the giving out, the vision is going to be aborted.
vision pastor
As a pastor I reinforced my vision over lunches.
reality vision pastor
There are a lot of pastors who have a vision and have not yet seen it become a reality.
