Moonshot is the best vision ever, and the benefits are still going downstream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You cannot set daily goals without vision. Spend time on your vision as it serves as the map against which you can set and communicate immediate smaller and doable goals. These decomposed goals are what you can do today to step closer to the big vision.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WHY IS VISION IMPORTANT?<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All companies that have Massive Transformational Purpose (MTP) have one common denominator, which is Vision. All vision must come from inside, and it must have a weight that pulls you and pushes you because there are consequences to not getting the dream done. That is a passionate vision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Vision is the one thing that cannot be replaced; it is vision that injects and inspires passion, the future view. Vision divides people. It does not unite them. If there are people who are for it and against it, that is a passionate vision. Do not fear people against your point of view. There will always be 20% of the people that will oppose you 100% of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If everyone agrees with you, then what you stand for is not polarizing enough, that means it does not bear enough emotional pull to make people care.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Vision without actions is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Many people are dreamers with good ideas but little action. Most people would prefer to follow a leader who has the same idea since it takes much less effort than they are willing to spend.&nbsp;&nbsp;Without vision, you cannot be a leader; other people&#8217;s personal agendas will take over without it.<\/p>\n<p>A strong, passionate vision will not only push you and others to come along with you, but you will not need to be pulled along with motivation.<br>It would help if you had a product vision board. Cast a clear vision by using a poster.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.designandexecute.com\/designs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/vision-board.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8077\" src=\"http:\/\/www.designandexecute.com\/designs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/vision-board.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"703\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designandexecute.com\/designs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/vision-board.png 703w, https:\/\/www.designandexecute.com\/designs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/vision-board-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/www.designandexecute.com\/designs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/vision-board-696x363.png 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 703px) 100vw, 703px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WHEN DO YOU FIND YOUR CORE VISION?<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It is the first step in the natural planning method. Find your &#8220;Why?&#8221;, then drive that project over your core values. Next is a clear vision of the outcome, taste what success tastes like, &#8220;the what?&#8221;. Chaos is the time between the vision and the clarity of the change.

Share your vision with energy, and you will have many people who want to travel with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Jeff wants to be here in 20 years.

They inspire others with their visions of the future&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There is a double bottom line, the people and the profit.

That is how you get productivity through the roof. The family, the business, and you need the vision to get onto, &#8220;a deep why&#8221; it gives meaning to your life, a quality of life, your vision is your legacy, it is your compass.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Vision is the map; it makes no sense getting there faster if your direction is wrong; your emotions provide you the map to know what is important. Write down where you want to go, the energy of thought, and organize your vision on paper. It will align your direction and unlock your inner energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The role of the leader is to define reality and to give hope. The clarity of the reality and the vision is far more important than hope. Motivation comes from Vision. Nice words in nice fonts will not motivate you; it is that powerful desire to improve and have a better life quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There are 5 to Thrive:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Stimulate interest<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Transition Interest<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Share vision now, (20%)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Manage vision<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Execute vision (80%)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In summary, get good people, get a common vision then let them do it.

You get the vision for free, but you must work for the execution.

The product vision is a living guide and is constantly changing its emergent and current to the daily market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">GOALS DRIVE VISION, ABILITY, AND ACTION<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Traditionally we follow the lineage of first a vision, then strategy, then a product. Over iterations, we pivot the strategy and optimize the product. Vision needs empirical testing, just as theory needs experiments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We can use goals to guide the vision by getting an early release reviewed before its finished. It is not the best and most polished state because the usage and value will alter what you think the product vision is. It would be best if you had testing and feedback to guide you in the product value.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A VISIONARY DEFINED, WHO CAN FILL THIS ROLE?<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Vision means to SEE IT (before &amp; more than anyone else), COMMUNICATE IT, and PURSUE IT. The CEO&#8217;s job is clarity of vision, a poster on the wall so everyone can see it and point to Polaris, the north star.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Decisions makers need -Long term vision or outcome, act without permission, standalone if needed, have strong inner values to know what not to fall for so can act in vigor.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Sylvester Stallone&#8217;s vision could not be compromised.&nbsp; He would not be bought out for 350K for his rights to his script &#8220;Rocky&#8221;, instead he sold it for 35K and a golden ticket to be an actor and make his dreams happen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Leadership is to have the vision to see past a dead-end, the courage to push forward, set the bar to new levels. As a visionary, you are responsible for looking out for changes, especially X10 forces of change in the landscape, and constantly recourse the direction, distinguishing between signal and noise.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">7 characteristics of Visionary Leaders:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Challenge the Status Quo.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Culture in goals and involve others.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Curious about the world they are trying to change.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Has charisma to attract followers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Communicate the vision of the future.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Commit to the vision and make decisions based on commitments to the vision.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Connect followers and foster idea spreading.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Pragmatists are about incremental percentage improvement, but visionaries are trying to make quantum leaps, revolutionary change.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Stephen Choo Quan<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n<p><strong>Sharing is Caring.
