Do you want to create a team culture by design or by default?

A culture by design only happens when you have a clear, compelling vision in place. 

A clear vision is what drives leadership and action in an intentional direction. 

But have you taken the time to create a vision for your team? 

...your family? 

....yourself?

In this episode we will walk you through the process for creating a compelling vision in all three areas of team, family, and personal. 

Leading with a vision is Principle #2 of the 12 Principles of Highly Successful Leaders and it's one of the most important because without a clear vision your efforts can quickly lead you off track or be diluted from focusing in too many directions.

In this episode, you will…

• Discover why a clear vision is a critical piece of the puzzle for creating team alignment
• Learn why creating visions for your team, family, and yourself is essential 
• Learn the four question process for creating a vision that creates buy-in from your team
• Realize that a personal vision is the seed of your legacy
