Getting Everyone on the Same Page with a Shared Vision

Hello members and subscribers! The thirteenth Moonshots Master episode is here and we are leaping into Leadership and Shared Vision!

As always we kick off with a slice of inspiration, and who better to get us started than Ken Blanchard who discusses how being a better manager starts with having a mindset that leans towards servant leadership, and our differentiation of vision and mission statements. We then have the heavy-weight champion, Simon Sinek, who breaks down the importance of having direction and introduces us to what a ‘Vision’ is.

Next up is 365 Careers which helps us grasp the concept of shared vision, and understand the importance of formalising a company’s purposes, goals, and values.

Looking forwards, as we plan to adopt vision and mission statements, we have Weekdone and their breakdown of how to measure objectives with team members, helping us learn how to set good OKRs. Closing out the show is Simon Sinek who has 3 ways to stress test your vision, including resilience, being inclusive, and being service-oriented.
