It’s stunning to me what kind of impact even one person can have if they have the right passion,
perspective and are able to align the interest of a great team.-Steve Case
When Moses caught his vision of a promised land and then aligned the masses to join
him, he had to lead them across the desert. Metaphorically, this story illustrates the four
stages of the Transformational Map. The promised land is the vision, the followers of
Moses aligned with his vision, the desert refers to the learning agenda required to
achieve their vision, and the arrival at the promised land is the final stage when we
embed the vision into the culture.
Our worldview, skill sets, and life experiences will provide invaluable guidance and
support, but the vision will demand personal learning from us. You have to ensure that
those who are helping to achieve the vision are able to learn whatever is necessary to
do so.
Self-Reflection Questions
● What do you personally need to learn in order to realize your new vision?
● Specifically, what skills, information, and new habits must you learn in order to
achieve your vision?
● In order for others to share your vision, what must they know? Interview others,
and then craft a learning agenda for achieving your vision in the world.
