Creating a club vision can either be an exhilarating, energizing experience or it can make your hands sweat, your mouth dry and your legs a bit stiff - or both!
We owe it to ourselves, our benefactors and our fellow members to use our time, energy and resources where they can have the most impact.
As you move into the second half of your Rotary year, ask yourself whether your club vision has the power to harness the energy and passions of your club members:
- Will it motivate you to join (or remain a part of) this organization and continue to motivate you once you are there?
- Does it provide an anchor point for the kinds of changes needed to keep your club vital and strong?
- Does it describe a future that is more attractive than the present?
- Does it challenge you?
- Can you use it to develop a strategic action plan that you and fellow club members can act on?
- Can it serve as a framework to keep decision making on track?
If your vision meets this test, how will enroll new people to help realize the vision?
If your vision needs clarification, what is your next step?
