So much has been said and written about leadership that we sometimes lose sight of what it is we are really doing as leaders. This quote by Walt Disney brings me back to the core of leadership and the importance of being a good leader. A great reminder for this week. #leadership#waltdisney#backtobasics
A compelling vision statement isn't just a roadmap; it's the heart of an organization's journey towards meaningful impact. It's about aligning everyone from the ground up with a shared purpose and direction, driving innovation, and fostering a culture of excellence. Crafting one that resonates is key to inspiring and mobilizing teams towards success.

Walt Disney knew how to write a compelling vision statement: "Disneyland will be something of a fair, an exhibition, a playground, a community center, a museum of living facts, and a showplace of beauty and magic. It will be filled with the accomplishments, the joys and hopes of the world we live in. And it will remind us and show us how to make those wonders part of our own lives."
This was before he had even broke ground!!

How have you used this tool in your recruitment or training exercises?
I have used this tool when asking board members to consider how they may have addressed a concern with a peer in a board meeting in a way that engaged and motivated them.
How could you include this in your leadership toolkit?
