challenges any leader has in

6. Vision and team development is
an evolutionary process!

7. Vision and team development is

“In an empowered
organization, the best
guidance comes from the
team’s understanding of
the organization’s vision
and values.”*
*Richard S. Wellins, William C. Byham, and Heanne M. Wilson, Empowered
Change (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1991), 78.

8. Vision and team development is
an evolutionary process!
“It (vision) cannot come from
the rules or books of
procedure; that is not
empowerment. No book of
procedures can answer all
the questions that arise, and
manuals are quickly
outdated.”*
*Richard S. Wellins, William C. Byham, and Heanne M. Wilson, Empowered
Change (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1991), 78.

9. Vision and team development is
an evolutionary process!
“....vision of the organization
tells the team in which
direction the organization is
going and what it plans to
accomplish.”*
*Richard S. Wellins, William C. Byham, and Heanne M. Wilson, Empowered
Change (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1991), 78.

10. Vision and team development is
an evolutionary process!
“The organization’s values tell
the team how to accomplish
the vision. Values are the
subtle control mechanisms that
informally sanction or prohibit
behavior.”*
*Richard S. Wellins, William C. Byham, and Heanne M. Wilson, Empowered
Change (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1991), 78.

11. Vision is....

12. Vision is....
“....... only an idea or an image of a more
desirable future for the organization, but the
right vision is an idea so energizing that it in
effect jump-starts the future by calling forth
skills, talents, and resources to make it
happen.”*
*
Burt Nanus, Visionary Leadership (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1992), 8.

19. To Build Upon Vision...

20. To Build Upon Vision...
....those who are in
leadership must entrust the
development of that vision to
others. The “how-to’s” of a
vision must be released by
the visionary to others for
successful accomplishment of
the vision.*

Change (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1991), 78.

21. Vision is.....
....... the domain of leadership.
The visionary does not live in the
past but rather seeks to create a
new future............
Reggie McNeal, Revolution in Leadership (Nashville: Abingdon Press, 1998)

22. A True Visionary is.....

23. A True Visionary is.....
....one who does not accept the
present as the final conclusion but is
rather “drawing up plans and
supervising bridge-building projects
to link the present with a better future
they have seen.”
Reggie McNeal, Revolution in Leadership (Nashville: Abingdon Press, 1998)

24. Vision and Commitment?

25. Vision and Commitment?
“Our commitment to the goals
of the organization for which
we work exceeds the money
we receive for our efforts.
We are committed to our jobs
because of the opportunities
that they provide us to do
something personally
meaningful with our lives.”
Samuel A. Culbert, The Organization Trap and How to Get out of It (New
York: Basic Books, 1974), 152.

26. A Common and Shared
Vision

27. A Common and Shared
Vision
Unites any team!

28. The Goal of the Visionary
The goal of a visionary is to aim above and beyond
compensation. The treasure of the visionary
is the fruit of the task, not how much the job
pays. A common and shared
vision unites any team. Attempting to
develop a team
without a unifying vision is difficult if not impossible.
Team leadership calls upon the leader to set the
standard for the team. In short, a leader’s success in
establishing a team-based organization will demand a
high level of commitment to both work and co-
workers.14
