The Synergy Of Vision
The Synergy of Vision
Word Count:
603
Summary:
An organisation that has not established its core values and vision will unlikely keep visionaries within it.
Visionaries will likely take less pay, work longer hours and suffer extreme circumstances that none-visionaries would quit over.
Why is that? Because the buy in factor, goes way beyond natural circumstances and into the realms of values. Value in a natural sense is something we put a price on, whereas vision is priceless.
Keywords:
goal setting, success

Over the years I have experienced some amazing results with people who have been secure enough to view their leadership or personal capacity through the eyes of corporate vision.
In one situation, the general manager stood down in preference to his assistant taking his role. They changed roles and the result was growth and expansion for the organisation, greater synergy and momentum.
Why?
A persons visionary capacity will determine the outcome!
Leading people or an organisation without a clear Mental vision, is the last place you should be.
Power games, position seeking, and climbing the corporate ladder can never fulfil the requirements of vision. Leading others (whether it be in your own business or in an organisation) will most likely bring frustration and a slowing down of momentum.
An organisation that has not established its core values and vision will unlikely keep visionaries within it.
Visionaries will likely take less pay, work longer hours and suffer extreme circumstances that none-visionaries would quit over.
Why is that? Because the buy in factor, goes way beyond natural circumstances and into the realms of values. Value in a natural sense we put a price on, whereas vision is priceless.
The amazing thing about vision is it is not impoverished. It will reward in the end, way beyond our primal anticipation.
What value would you put on vision?
Ask Martin Luther King junior. or maybe Winston Churchill!
I can guarantee they did not look for a vision, the vision looked for them. It arrested them and consumed their life. They lived within the parameters of their vision and died spent, yet fulfilled by it.
Vision is the awakening of our lifes purpose and the force that compels us to exist!
It moves us from country to country in the search for people of similar spirit. It stands for something rather than falling for anything.
Vision will either empower you, or expose your vulnerabilities.
As for me, I would rather live in pursuit of my life purpose, than exist within the restrictive fences of being Mr average.
Personal Empowerment Is Activated Through Vision!
I had a conversation this week with a visionary. During the conversation I recalled how every organisation I have ever led, has drawn people (in the first two years), so full of vision that the nuts and bolts people pulled their hair out. Why?
Vision inspires and brings momentum. Visionaries love such an environment as it allows for creativity, (an essential component to release vision) but it does not guarantee fulfilment. Vision needs practical, systematic, analytical support players. These analytical individuals however, can often frustrate visionaries, as they need clear lines of communication and boundaries.
Visionaries break boundaries and are often so caught up with new ideas, that communication is wrongly expected to be generated (through each individual player) that has partnered into the vision. Buying into the enthusiasm that is generated out of sharing the vision does not transfer automatically to fact based people.
I can hear everyone that has ever been a part of one of my teams shouting a loud "AMEN"!
Vision is powerful, but it must be measurable, definable and most of all achieved through multiple strategies. If you have got great ideas, an enthusiastic mandate and a passion to succeed, you need to heed this one statement!
You will never achieve it without the help of others!
I can tell instinctively those that will succeed in their vision, because they are big enough on the inside to recognise their weaknesses, yet strong enough to manage them. Thats why synergy demands momentum and momentum needs a clear strategy.

Summary:
Most success gurus will tell you that perservance is the most important factor in achieving success. They are wrong. If you use perserverance the wrong way, you are guaranteed to fail! Find out what the missing ingredient is if you want to be successful in achieving goals.

If you really want to be successful, you probably spend a lot of time reading motivational books and articles. You want to know what qualities are required for success.
When we read about the tools required to achieve success, very often we are told that if we really want to be successful, we must have persistence.
Persistence is the quality of never giving up when we encounter challenges. Of holding on to our dream. Of refusing to be discouraged no matter what the odds, no matter what happens.
And when you read the life stories of very successful people, they will often tell you about all the hardships they encountered along the way. They will tell you about the discouragement they occasionally felt when they encountered failure, and about all the people who laughed at them along the way.
And then they will often tell you that the reason they are successful today is because they were persistent. They perservered in chasing their dream, no matter what happened.
So if you have been facing a bit of discouragement while you pursue your dream, reading these success gurus can give you the boost you need to keep on doing what youve been doing. After all, persistence is the key to success.
Almost everyone says so.
And all those people who encourage you to be persistent are wrong!
Persistence can lead to certain failure if you do not apply persistence in the right way.
Let me explain what these people are leaving out when they tell you to be persistent.
Every day as I drive to work in the city where I live, I always see a middle-aged blonde woman who paces back and forth on the sidewalk in front of a big government building. She is always carrying a big protest sign. She smiles and waves at all the cars that pass.
Im not sure exactly what her sign says because the words dont really make any sense.
There seems to be something about an injustice that happened to her when her husbands pension was divided up during their divorce. And theres a few comments about a government conspiracy to cover up the injustice that was done to her. I guess what shes trying to accomplish with her protest is shes trying to get this divorce decision changed.
Every day, no matter what the weather, this woman comes out to walk back and forth for two hours in front of this government building and wave at all the people. Her smile never fails.
After the first two hours of protesting are up, she goes to another place downtown. She spends another two hours walking back and forth, smiling and waving, in front of a different building a few blocks away.
She has been doing this every day for at least seventeen years.
She is certainly persistent.
All that persistence and dedication for so many years does not seem to be having any effect, but she does not seem to notice.
If seventeen years of her walking back and forth carrying this sign hasnt had any effect, I dont think that one more day of walking with this sign is going to change the outcome of her divorce. But she is persistent in continuing her protest.
Probably every big city has a few people like this woman, people you can see standing on the sidewalk. People who spends years holding some sign that doesnt make sense.
These people can teach us all about the real value of perserverence and persistence.
These people are certainly very persistent, but usually they are not successful.
When success gurus tell us that persistence is an important quality on the road to success, they are often leaving out something important.
When successful people tell you that they got to where they are today because they were persistent, they are actually leaving out part of the story. A very important part of the story.
And the part that they are leaving out is this: They forget to tell you that before they were persistent, they had a goal, and they had a plan on how to get there.
And all along the way, after every step they took, they stepped back to evaluate the results to see if the results they were getting were the results they wanted. And if they werent getting the results they wanted, then they would change the steps they took, and try something different, until they found a method that worked for them.
These successful people did have persistence, but they were only persistent about holding on to their vision.
They were never persistent about the method they took to get to their goal.
All along the way, they were prepared to be very flexible and experiment to see what techniques and strategies worked best to get where they wanted to go.
Why do so many successful people leave out this important detail when they tell us the secrets to their success? Why do they so often neglect to mention that if a strategy wasnt working, they abandoned it quickly and moved on to another strategy?
I dont think that successful people deliberately leave out this key information because they dont want us to be successful.
I think that successful people often leave out this key detail because they assume its very obvious to everyone already. They assume that everyone already knows that you test each step of what you are doing to see whether its working or not. And if its not working, you change it. And you keep trying new approaches til you get something that works, something that gets you closer to the result you want.
People who admire persistence often use the example of Thomas Edison who kept trying to produce an electrical light bulb even after ten thousand failed attempts.
But people often forget that while Thomas Edison was persistent in believing in his goal, he was not persistent in the way he tried to achieve it. Thomas Edison did not repeat the same experiment over and over again ten thousand times.
Thomas Edison performed about ten thousand different experiments on his way to trying to find a practical electrical light bulb.
Every time he tried an experiment to produce an electric light bulb, he then stepped back and took some time to evaluate the results. He figured out what was working and what wasnt working. Then he would try something different the next time. And he would keep track of the results.
So, remember this crucial difference the next time someone tries to tell you that persistence is the key to success.
Without taking some time to evaluate whether or not what you do is actually working, you can be persistent for years, and not achieve the goals you want.
So, if you want to be successful, be sure to hold on to your dream, but remember to check frequently whether the actions you are taking are getting you closer to your goals.
