Even after short-term success, visions tend to blur, drift, and fade. Why does this happen?\nAccomplishing the vision requires intentionality.\nIt requires consistency.\nIt requires commitment.\nIt requires courage.\nIn Be Mean About the Vision, author Shawn Lovejoy challenges leaders to stay true to the vision—regaining and sustaining its trajectory over time. Lovejoy offers a proven strategy for relentlessly protecting our organization’s guiding vision: Develop a vision people are willing to die for Keep the vision alive in us Align everyone around the vision Keep the vision from being compromised or even hijacked\nOne thing is certain—if our church or organization is going to accomplish its mission, we’re going to need to be: Determined. Resolute. Intentional. We’re going to need to be willing to do whatever it takes to keep the vision from being detoured or derailed. Where there is no vision, people perish. They wander off in random directions. On the flip side, when everyone understands and embraces the vision, there is life, passion, growth, and success! And God will be glorified.\nAs a leader the kindest, godliest, thing we can do is Be Mean About the Vision.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0718032888\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0718032888.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lovejoy, Shawn|Ed Stetzer\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
