Making Vision Stick 6: Celebrate it Systematically

OK… Here’s #4 of the 5 principles in his book, Making Vision Stick, that Andy Stanley says will help us fulfill our responsibility to get our vision to stick...


Celebrate it Systematically


Celebrating victories does more to clarify vision than anything else because they provide real-world examples of the vision’s concepts. When we celebrate the things that illustrate our vision, people have a chance for an “A-ha!” moment. Listen to this CRITICAL point: we are celebrating something (intentionally or not!), but if what we celebrate isn’t our vision, it will overpower our vision. Andy puts it this way: What’s celebrated gets repeated. Are you celebrating what you want to see repeated?


Once we state our vision simply, cast it convincingly, repeat it regularly, & celebrate it systematically, we need to embrace it personally… That’ll be next!
