3 Minute Monday: Vision Test

Good Monday morning. I hope your weekend was restful. It’s time to get going this week. Let’s start with this 3 minute exercise. It is meant to help you one way or another. Here it goes.

Write down your vision for your organization, your department, your team, or yourself - whichever is most applicable. Do not look at your wall plaque or a note you have written down in your organizer. If you can’t simply write it down then there is work to be done. If you can nail it down in 3 minutes and others respond to it, great. Now, time yourself for three minutes. Ready, set, go:

My vision: __________________

How did you do?

It is not like I don’t trust you, but I am going to need you to show someone else and ask them to grade you. If they offer advice, listen. Make the changes and keep working to make it powerful, inspiring, simple and real. Then practice saying it every morning for ten days straight.

Where there is no vision the people perish!
