About this ebook

Having a clear, compelling vision--and getting buy-in from your team--is essential to effective leadership. If you don't know where you're going, how on earth will you get there? But how do you craft that vision? How do you get others on board? And how do you put that vision into practice at every level of your organization?

In The Vision Driven Leader, New York Times bestselling author Michael Hyatt offers six tools for crafting an irresistible vision for your business, rallying your team around the vision, and distilling it into actionable plans that drive results. Based on Michael's 40 years of experience as an entrepreneur and executive, backed by insights from organizational science and psychology, and illustrated by case studies and stories from multiple industries, The Vision Driven Leader takes you step-by-step from why to what and then how. Your business will never be the same.

Ratings and reviews

In his latest book, the Vision Driven Leader, best-selling author, podcaster and executive coach Michael Hyatt guides his readers through a series of questions to write a "Vision Script" for their organization. Much more detailed than the typical short, pithy mission statement, a vision script is the result of a leader stepping into the future and describing what they see in detail- in their team, their products, their sales, and their impact on the world. According to Michael, “A mission defines what a business is, a vision describes where it’s going.” Throughout the book Michael shares stories of individuals and organizations that were able to triumph because of visionary leaders, and those that failed due to lack of vision. Through these stories, thought provoking questions, and the Vision Script process, the reader learns the difference a clear, well-communicated vision can make in an organization. And he gives us the toolbox to achieve it. In these uncertain times I’ll leave you with one of my favorite quotes from the book… “If the vision is compelling enough, people will apply their best thinking and efforts to figure it out, regardless of the obstacles and opposition.”
