When did you know IBM would become a colossus?

 "The first day, I had a very clear picture of what the company would look like when it was finally done. I realized that for IBM to become a great company it would have to act like a great company long before it ever became one."

   - Thomas Watson, Founder IBM

Vision is the starting point of any great business. We have discussed many times the key ingredients of The Leadership Matrix, a 9 step process that will result in a great company. Clarity is the First cell.

Jim Collins, Rockefeller, Gerber, Nightingale, Napoleon Hill, Emerson, Aristotle, all the great minds wrote about and practiced the habits of success.  

It takes Clarity, Focus (Actions)and Execution to succeed at anything in life and especially business.

Clarity is Vision, Goals and a Core Purpose.

The quote above it all about the power of Vision.

What is your Vision for your company? It must come from you, no one is going to set it for you!

Take a few minutes today and write down your Vision for your company in 2020. Make it detailed, what will your role be, how big, how many employees, management positions, locations or size of facilities, etc.

"If you don't know where you are going you might not get there"

- Yogi Berra - I forgot about the greatest mind of all (grin)

Communicate this every week to your team along with your Core Purpose, your Why.
