Formulate a shared, principle-based vision and observe how the members of your organization become more motivated, united, and productiveI know you want your organization to take more significant action, and for that to happen you desire that all the members are aligned and cooperate in advancing toward clear goals.
However, you find that your collaborators are so busy with their daily activities that they often lose sight of the big picture, and at times, different departments pull in different directions, instead of cooperating with one another.
Part of the problem may be that your organization lacks a clear, concise vision that all have appropriated and which serves as a guide during daily activities and a compass when making decisions.
Or at one time, you may have formulated a vision, but it's not a living document that you constantly refer to in consulting about short-term goals and daily activities.
When you and your principal collaborators consult together to formulate a shared, principle-based vision, express it concisely, and then work with all the members of the organization until they fully understand and identify with it, the results will be greater unity, cooperation, and motivation. Daily activities will become more meaningful and the vision becomes a compass that facilitates decision-making.
That's why I wrote Results-Based Leadership: Heightening Motivation and Unity with a Shared, Principle-Based Vision. Formulating a principle-based vision is a capability of Transformative Leadership that supports social transformation and complements other capabilities that contribute to personal transformation and to enhancing interpersonal relationships.
My promise to you is that by reading this book and by applying its easy-to follow guidelines, you will understand the power of formulating a vision, have a method to develop it, and know how to help the members of your organization to identify with it.
Once you have applied what you learn, your organization will have a vision that members are motivated to achieve. As a result, they will become more productive in their work, more united during consultation, and more willing to cooperate with others in achieving their common goal.
