Why Vision Matters - A Short Story by Mouna Ferré
Most leaders think they communicate a vision but, do they?

Simon Sinek has made "𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙒𝙝𝙮" famous, yet in reality, many leaders focus on 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 rather than 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀. 

This video illustrates a story I’ve shared with many teams I have led. It shows that even 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝘆

A story about creativity inspired by Improv - by Mouna Ferré
"𝐘𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝…" 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦.
