Embrace the Vision Personally

Your willingness to embody the vision of your organisation will have a direct impact on your credibility as a leader. Living out the vision establishes credibility and makes you a leader worth following. When people are convinced that the vision has stuck with you, it is easier for them to make the effort to stick with the vision. Your giftedness may enable you to gather a following. But it will take more than talent to make your vision stick.- Excerpt from Making Vision Stick by Andy Stanley

Lean Into the DIp

Successful people don't just ride out the Dip. They don't just buckle down and survive it. No, they lean into the Dip. They push harder, changing the rules as they go. Just because you know you're in the Dip doesn't mean you have to live happily with it. Dips don't last quite as long when you whittle at them. - Excerpt from the Dip by Seth Godin
