read it in a fortune cookie: we dont need no stinkin vision... tanner halton sent me this excerpt... it contrasts the process many companies use in off sites to define mission and vision...which then get relegated to laminated cards. vision & mission emerge...they are not group consensus. But vision from the heart is--by definition--an expression of love, Edg was saying. And not only is that more energizing, it is energy. Its juice, man. He looked out over the ocean as Sadie bolted, once again, into the surf. Martin Luther Kings I have a dream speech was juice for a generation. He didnt have to hand out 250,000 laminated cards at the Lincoln Memorial on that hot August day in 1963. Watch the tape: it was pure energy. Juice. Life itself. He called Sadie, and we turned around and headed back towards the lifeguard station. He looked down at the sand as we walked. Think about your clients, Steve. Ill bet the vast majority of them grossly underestimate the power of their own hearts. They have NO FREAKIN IDEA how much energy they can unleash in themselves and those around them if they just put down that bureaucratic, banal, generic crapola and tell people why they love their businesses and communicate their authentic hopes and aspirations for the future of their companies. Am I right? I flashed back to the scene in Janices office. I suspect so, I said. So whats the remedy for the blah, blah, blah corporate vision statements? Burn the damned things, said Edg. (p.80)
