Synopsis

What does it mean to lead with vision? In the first book devoted entirely to vision as a key leadership principle, the authors delve deeply into the notion that a compelling vision that motivates and inspires is a true differentiator for organizations that want to hire and retain talent, be more competitive, and thrive in uncertain times. But a compelling vision on its own is not enough, which is why the authors, sought-after leadership development experts globally, provide listeners with detailed analysis of the essential things leaders must do to effectively engage the workforce around that vision: embody courage, forge clarity, build connectedness, and shape culture.

Leading with Vision draws on quantitative data from the authors' research of over 400 companies supplemented with real-world examples from thoughtful leaders who exemplify the core principles of leading with vision in established companies, including: Olukai, Bumble Bee, Coresystems, Jimbo's, Bunge, and more. The audiobook also includes an actionable blueprint developed by the authors that leaders and their organizations can implement on day one of their journey.

Goodreads review by Gary on May 05, 2020

I might be reading too many business books recently because this one felt like many of the others I have finished. It is not bad, just didn't really make me want to do much different. There are plenty of good ideas in here. I liked the section on story telling for example, but for the most part it ju......more
