people inspired by the same future.

leadership’s job.
Leadership is creating the
possibility of a future that
wasn’t going to happen
anyhow
AND
enrolling others into taking
action to fulfill that future

18. Are Your People Working
Toward…
Actions: movement, something that is
happening (I’m cutting stones).
Goals: a condition that someone
intends to be true by a specific time
in the future (I cut two stones/day).
Commitments: a state of being
emotionally impelled (I’m building a
cathedral to honor God).

19. The Fundamental Commitment
of Human Beings
To survive
– Physically
– To leave a legacy
“To make a difference with my life.”
4/10/12 (c) 2012 Frontier Associates, Inc. & Build It Backwards 19
20. The Purpose of Organizations
The one and only purpose of an
organization is to give people the
opportunity to experience making a
bigger difference than they could as
individuals.
– The difference an organization was
created to make (is committed to
making) is called its vision.
4/10/12 (c) 2012 Frontier Associates, Inc. & Build It Backwards 20
21. Building a Very Successful
Organization
In Built to Last, Collins and Porras assert a
key step in building a very successful
organization is to articulate a core
ideology, i.e.,
– A Purpose: the organization’s fundamental
reasons for existence.
• The difference it was created to make (Vision)
• How it will make this difference (Mission)
– Core Values: a small set of guiding
principles, guidelines on behavior, not to be
ever compromised.
4/10/12 (c) 2012 Frontier Associates, Inc. & Build It Backwards 21
22. Building a Very Successful
Organization*
Human Commitment to make a difference
Organizations provide an opportunity to make a big
difference
Very successful organizations are clear about the
difference they were created to make (vision) and
how they will do that (mission and strategic plan)
Very successful organizations are clear about
necessary guidelines on behavior to accomplish
their mission (core values)
* For more on this, refer to Chapter S: Strategic Planning, in THE
Book on Business from A to Z

23. #2: Create an Inspiring Vision
4/10/12 (c) 2012 Frontier Associates, Inc. & Build It Backwards 23
24. If you want to build a ship, don’t gather
your people and ask them to provide
wood, prepare tools, assign tasks…
Just call them together and raise in
their minds the longing for the endless
sea.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

26. Literature Support
“Companies that have risen to global
leadership..invariably began with
ambitions that were out of all
proportions to their resources and
capabilities.”
- Gary Hamel and C.K. Prahalad, “Strategic
Intent,” Harvard Business Review

27. #3: Create Vision by
Thinking Out of the Box

28. Exercise: 9 Dots Puzzle
Connect all nine dots, drawing only four
straight lines without lifting your writing
instrument from the paper (tracing counts as a
line). If you know how to do it with four lines,
take the challenge of doing it with three, two,
one or zero lines.

4. The facilitator is committed to
consensus.

intentions, that supports
the accomplishment of a
commitment, goal, or
promise.

imagination of all.
