Connecting the Dots
By Jae M. Rang, MAS
Reading time: 56 seconds
Would you rather be right or would you rather be rich?
Whether it's a simple report, a special event, re-tooling to take on a new market or running the entire organization, one common success element is to start with a clear vision.
For your report to have clarity, your event to accomplish results, your new market initiative to get traction or your entire organization to scale, clarity of what that end result looks like, is crucial. In building your vision you're on the lookout for people - to create circumstances - that support your vision and build your success.
After all it's your vision and you know what's right, right?
Aha - There can be a fine line between having a clear vision and being attached to an outcome; the line being the difference between being right or being rich.
