CH5: The ritual of a compelling future focus

# ON ACTION

#1.1 "Information alone is not power. Power and competitive advantage come only when sound information is decisively acted upon".

#1.2 "The key to improving your leadership performance is to passionately act on it."

# ON PEOPLE

#2.1 "There is no such thing as an unmotivated person, only an unmotivated employee."

#2.2 "Every single person on this planet has the ability to get excited and motivated about something. The leader's primary task is to get his team excited and motivated about the Compelling Cause that is his vision. Rather than constantly ordering your people to work toward the future goals you have developed, why not give them a reason to do so."

# ON VISION
An Activity

Compare these two mission statements and pick which one sounds better:

#3.1 "To be the preferred supplier of our customers, to create high quality products and to grow into a five-billion-dollar company within five years."

#3.2 "GlobalView is passionately committed to saving the lives of men, women, and children by providing our customers with cutting-edge, high-value software that allows them to brilliantly serve their patients' needs. Our five-year goal is to save the lives of over five-million people and make a significant and lasting impact on the health-care industry."
