On The Importance of Vision
Two cannot walk together unless they are aligned. A vessel pulled in different directions will be torn asunder. Without a Vision, the people perish.
- Alignment proceeds from shared Vision.
- In order to forge shared Vision, We must Dialogue with one another. We must cross the boundaries that have separated us and talk, so that we can discover a shared Vision.
- Once we discover a shared Vision of Where We Are Going and Why, we can compare it to Where We Are.
- From there, we can discover the pathways and Milestones that mark the Way, and then begin to voluntarily Progress together towards it.
- As we Progress, we can learn and share the Stories.
- Those stories then become Prophesies of even greater things that are possible as we continue to advance.
- Top down compulsion is by definition failed governance. Governance based on power, coercion, and threat is by definition failure.
- Vision, Wisdom, and Voluntary Association around our Goals and Values are the antidotes.
