Jesse Stoner teams up with Ken Blanchard to take the mystery out of creating a clear, compelling vision for your organization and for yourself. They show where vision comes from, how it unleashes great power and energy, and how it provides ongoing focus and direction.
They tell how to create the three key elements of an enduring vision: (1) significant purpose, (2) clear values, and (3) a picture of the future. And they describe how to engage people in shaping meaningful visions and putting those visions to work in their organizations and their lives.
