Here’s another temptation from Patrick Lencioni’s The Five Temptations of a CEO: the failure to have clear vision and clear goals.
What’s vision? My best definition, one I’ve heard multiple times and don’t know who to attribute it to, is a picture of your preferred future.
What’s your vision? I’ll tell you ours at FYI: our vision is to be a leading voice for deeper youth ministry. As a team, we’re asking ourselves: If we want to be a leading voice for deeper youth ministry in 2 years, what do we need to do now?
That’s where goals come in. They are the small (or medium or even large or XL) steps that get you to your vision.
That’s why we’re blogging more. We can’t be a deep voice if we’re not talking. So one of our goals is to post blogs 3-4 times/week.
That vision is a grid for us, helping us decide where to eliminate and where to concentrate. If something doesn’t help us be a leading voice for deeper youth ministry, we shouldn’t do it. We won’t do it well; someone else can do it better.
What’s your picture for 2 years from now? And what goals can you set to help you get there?
