We already discussed a few times the importance for a team leader to have a clear vision and to share that vision with his entire team. Today, I want to share a few quotes about vision with you. Some of these quotes are taken from the book "The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork" written by John C. Maxwell.
I hope these quotes will inspire you to define a clear and articulated vision, to broadcast it around you, and to live it fully.
"To have a vision gives motivation and assurance to team members."
- John Maxwell
"Every soldier must know, before he goes into battle, how the little battle he is to fight fits into the larger picture, and how the success of his fighting will influence the battle as a whole."
- Bernard Montgomery
"Leaders do not need to be visionaries themselves. The vision can come from anyone."
- Ezra Earl Jones
"I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
- Henry David Thoreau
"The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it."
- Michelangelo
"The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs."
- Vance Havner
"You must have long-range goals to keep you from being frustrated by short-range failures."
- Charles C. Noble
I hope you enjoyed reading these quotes and found some wisdom in them.
I also want to invite you to a free webinar I'll give on 09/09/09 from 7pm until 9pm EDT. This is part of a larger event hosted by the Leaders Cafe Foundation for the World Day of Interconnectedness. I will present two different topics:
