Episode 072 - Why You Need Vision

The ability to envision possibilities for the future and share that vision with others is something that distinguishes leaders from nonleaders.  It also separates the performers from the spectators. If you don’t have an idea of where you’re going, you’ll end up just going in circles.  Ultimately, when we’re on a fireground, the vision is to put the fire out.  The strategy is how we get there.  By having an ultimate vision for what we want to happen, we lay down a marker for what success looks like. Today I’m going to talk about why we need vision.  I’ll talk about how having a personal vision statement can better prepare you for leadership roles, and I’ll provide you with ways to formulate your own vision in a practical way so that you can take action! -- IGNITEd Firefighter Podcast Facebook Community IGNITEd Readers Book Club IGNITEd Online Shop Start with Why by Simon Sinek The Vision Driven Leader by Michael Hyatt
