EPISODE 347

Do you have a “borrowed vision?”

Biggest Takeaways You Don't Want to Miss:
  • Most principals are executing a vision they inherited, chasing goals they didn't set, and wondering why the work feels like drudgery.
  • When you lead without a vision you own, every outside demand decides for you.
  • When you have a borrowed vision, you're not building the school you want. You're managing everyone else's expectations.
  • When you're leading with someone else's vision, you're constantly vulnerable to whoever speaks loudest or applies the most pressure.
  • When you don't own your vision, every outside demand controls you.

If you've ever felt like you're working incredibly hard but not actually building toward anything meaningful, you're not crazy, and you're not alone. You might be operating with a borrowed vision without even realizing it.

In this episode, I'm going to walk you through the four types of borrowed visions: vision by compliance, vision by comparison, vision by inheritance, and vision by avoidance. 

By the end of this episode, you'll know whether your vision is borrowed, and more importantly, you'll understand why that matters. None of these feel wrong in the moment but that's what makes them so dangerous.

Because once you see the difference between borrowed and owned, you can't unsee it and you can finally start building what you truly believe in #LikeABuilder.
