Making Vision Stick 7: Embrace it Personally

Here’s the last of the 5 principles in Andy Stanley's book, Making Vision Stick, that he says will help us fulfill our responsibility to get our vision to stick…

Embrace it Personally

Let me put this one simply: we’ve gotta walk the walk if we’re gonna talk the talk. If we’re not living out our vision, we can’t expect anyone else to! When we live out our vision, we are leading from influence… NOT position! When we live the vision out in such a way that people realize we’d be doing it even if there wasn’t a vision, then people see it as more than “just a job” … It’s our calling! And when we live it like we believe it, it sets others free to believe it, too, without reservation or suspicion!

So, now we’ve identified the 5 principles to get our vision to stick: state our vision simply, cast it convincingly, repeat it regularly, celebrate it systematically, & embrace it personally… But what do we do when we feel the passion for our vision “slipping”? I’m glad you asked… I’ll talk about that in my next post!
