A powerful vision statement is your “big picture.” When the people gathered around you see what they do as a part of the big picture, they are energized to tackle the smallest of details and the largest of challenges. This statement helps everyone connect their job to the results of your organization.
Most of us have heard the old story about the three bricklayers building a cathedral. When asked what they were doing, their responses were all telling:
- Bricklayer #1: “I’m laying bricks”
- Bricklayer #2: “I’m building a church”
- Bricklayer #3 “I’m building the greatest cathedral the world has ever known.”
Bricklayer #3 is a visionary. He shows up every day focused on his hoped-for future.
I like to imagine another bricklayer who takes it even further:
Bricklayer #4: “I’m building an amazing cathedral that will launch a worldwide movement to change the world!”
Bricklayer #4 if fully funded!
