Strategic plans motivate few people, but a compelling vision can appeal to the heart and motivate anyone.

Without vision, and without everyone having the same vision, running into obstacles and tripping over one another is inevitable.

In an accelerating world, change visions are becoming bolder by necessity.

So if you don’t act quickly, organizational inertia will overcome you. – Ron Marshall

…we should always remember that in a twenty-first-century world, the pace of external change is only going to increase.

The direction of change is widely communicated, and communicated for both understanding and gut-level buy-in. The goal: to get as many people as possible acting to make the vision a reality.

…most people will be nervous, even if they feel a sense of urgency to do something, even if they think the change drivers are okay, even if the vision is sensible.

With clogged channels, even if someone is emotionally predisposed to want to understand a change vision, the information can become lost in the immense clutter.

People in change-successful enterprises do a much better job than most in eliminating the destructive gap between words and deeds.

…matching words and deeds is usually tough, even for a dedicated guiding team.
