5. Approach to the subject :
• The author projects how a Sushi Restaurant’s working
influences the working of a hospital.
• The minute a new way of working is initiated, The gravity
pull of old habits begins.
• IT starts with real conversations.
• The idea of vision moment is intriguing.
External energy is necessary at the beginning of any

A vision is made manifest in real time by identifying and
bringing to life possibilities that are always present.

shows you how to come up with a
vision for your business and how to
keep it alive, vital, and renewed
through tough times, such as
turnover in management and staff
or a troubled economy.”

12. The most basic ingredient of any vision is the
individual IT.
IT is our personalization of the vision.
Vision-sustaining energy is released as we seek to
find our IT through conversation.
The only way to find out IT inside the vision is to
talk about work with the coworkers.
These conversations must be both real and fierce.
Real because they require an authenticity that belies
pretense and posturing.
Fierce because the amount of time we spend at work
makes these conversations vital to a satisfying life.
13. Once we are clear about our IT,
opportunities to Live IT are more
obvious.
We call these opportunities
vision moments.
Vision-sustaining energy builds
as we live as many vision
moments as we can.
Once we have found our IT we
must commit to living IT by
living fully the naturally
occurring vision moments.
14. Coaching is gift we give to
each other and to our vision to
keep IT strong.
Whether it’s about the way we
do our work or the way we
work together, the feedback
needs to flow in all directions.
Coaching can’t be an ego trip.
We only do it for the Vision.
We Coach It.
