How do you create shared vision
Start from where you want to go – not where you are
Communicate your passion (deep caring)
Provide room for other
people’s visions
Avoid self-limiting mental
models

Internal predetermined hypotheses you have about the way your world works
Result in dismissal of possibilities
Keep you in the here and now (“easy to do”)
The significant problems that we face cannot be solved by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them

Summary - Key Points
1. When crafting vision, start from where you want to go, not the current situation
A vision is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a call to become something more. – Rosabeth Moss Kanter
Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground - Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Summary - Key Points
2. Change is costly, the goal of shared vision is to inspire
I have a dream… - Martin Luther King
On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we're going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future. – Barack Obama
Summary - Key Points
4. Shared vision is not strategic planning
If you want to build a ship, don’t herd people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Vision without execution is hallucination. – Thomas Edison
Summary - Key Points
5. Shared vision requires seeing past self-limiting mental models
To grasp and hold a vision, that is the very essence of successful leadership – not only on the movie set where I learned it, but everywhere - Ronald Reagan
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. – Barack Obama
The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made. And the activity of making them changes both the maker and the destination.
