There are lots of books about discovering or developing a vision for your organization, but this one is about making that vision endure the corrosion of time and complexity--how to make your vision stick.
Influential author and pastor Andy Stanley reveals the reasons why leaders' visions often falter, and he delivers 5 in-depth strategies so that you can dodge the pitfalls:
- How to state your vision simply.
- How to cast your vision convincingly.
- How to repeat your vision regularly.
- How to celebrate your vision systematically.
- How to embrace your vision personally.
Many of us have good ideas, even great ones. The difficult part is putting them into practice and keeping that vision clear and visible to your organization--whether that's a business or a church--when there are so many things in the day-to-day living of that vision that can distract from it.
Making Vision Stick offers valuable, practical tips and case studies. This is a book you'll want to highlight and dog-ear and pass around as you learn how to propel your organization toward the vision God has granted you.
Vision is about what could be and should be, but life is about right this minute. The test of a true leader is in keeping that vision on track, day in and day out.

Here are the key learnings:
- State the vision
- Cast the vision to the community
- Repeat it as often as possible to reinforce it
- Celebrate the wins
- Embrace it - your vision must be part of you
Here are a few other notable quotes from the book:
- "Vision is about what could be and should be, but life is about right this minute"
- "If the followers don’t get it, we probably haven’t delivered the vision in a way that makes it get-able."
- "If your target audience doesn’t know what’s at stake, the vision will never stick."
- "What is the need or problem my vision addresses? and What will happen if those needs or problems continue to go unaddressed?"
- "Vision should evoke emotion.And it’s difficult to evoke emotion with an e-mail or a letter."
- "We all need to be reminded why we are doing what we are doing. We need to be reminded what’s at stake. We need to be reminded of the vision. And we need it more often than most leaders realize."
These are just a few of the things you will learn from this book. I took so many notes from this short book that will help me with my upcoming vision casting. If you are in a leadership position or you have a message to get out, then this book is for you.
God brings along books to me as well that are priceless. The latest book is Making Vision Stick by Andy Stanley. Having only read one other book by Stanley (Visioneering) -- and that was years ago -- I approached this book without much bias or even expectation.
Yet I would highly recommend this short book. He recommends three ways to help vision stick:
* Cast vision strategically: defining your vision
* Celebrate vision systematically: regularly rejoicing in the successes
* Live your vision continuously: putting your vision into practice in your own life.
He goes on to note how the vision statement for the church must be simple and memorable. He notes how it is better to have vision statement simple and incomplete rather than complete but too long to remember. It is up to the leader to help those following him to see the vision the leader has embraced.
I also think one of the best sections is near the end, where Stanley talks about indicators of whether a vision is fading (he calls this "vision slippage"). In a few categories (two groupings of three items each), Stanley dissects red flags, early warnings, and how to interpret the loss or erosion of vision.
Great little book on leadership... you won't regret the time or investment.
