clarity evangelist: Profound Partial Truths: Your Vision is Outdated Part 4

clarity evangelist: Profound Partial Truths: Your Vision is Outdated Part 4: "�Instead of living with a weak and outdated vision, I suggest that we need to define vision correctly.

Fixing Quote #1

The problem with Sam's quote is that we are left asking, 'How do you fix a toxic culture?' Ironically, the answer has to start with vision! �Therefore it is more accurate to say real vision shapes culture. And what Sam should have said is 'Toxic culture trumps the results of our �poorly conceptualized visioning processes' (Like borrowing a mission statement from North Point, or doing an old-school strategic planning process.)

Fixing Quote #2�

Again, Dave's statement that we need relationaries not visionaries is itself a statement of vision (ironically). Imagine for a moment where the church would be if we had all relationaries and no visionaries. �Now, I do get Dave's point as stated earlier. �But why not statement the real truth: We need visionaries who are strong relationaries. The first person who comes to mind now is Jesus not Mister Rogers- imagine that!�"
