I encourage leaders to invest a lot of time assessing, aligning, and articulating vision.  But at the end of the day it doesn't mean squat if it doesn't deliver. How about taking cues from the postman to deliver vision daily! 

Here are 5 things you can do today- any one of them will take less than 5 minutes:





#1 Use your vision vocabulary every time you pray  (lunch, dinner, team meetings, one-on-ones, privately.) Maybe use the Christmas season as an "excuse" to bless others in prayer- and drip vision when you do.

#2 Put one part of your Vision Frame  in your e-mail signature. If you don't know how, take a sec to google how. As the leadership coach at Faithbridge, I use our mission at the end of my e-mail in the form of a question, "How can you be a bridge of faith to someone today?"  

#3 Make a little corner of your white board "vision real estate." Take a moment to write a goal, a priority, a rally cry, or something else from your vision vocabulary. Let it work on your mind and heart as you see it often. Place it so that others can see it and talk about it.

#4  Schedule some "time to dream" right now by blocking off time during Christmas break or in January.  When can you take 2 hrs., a half day or a full day? 

#5 Give a word of praise that drips vision. Use the end of the year as an "excuse" to thank someone on your team. Identify an initiative, a story, or action where they modeled one aspect of your Vision Frame (mission, values, strategy, measures). Name it and thank them for it. 





Ready, set, act now.  Stop reading about vision and drip it. 

If you have fun with this exercise, why not tweet about it and/or tweet your own ideas for dripping vision using the #visiondrip hashtag.
