You Don’t Need Vision. You Need Priorities.

The myth of the “visionary” leader and how to get real traction.

We’ve been told great leaders have vision.

Big, bold, TED Talk worthy statements. Five-year transformation plans. “North Stars.”

Sounds great. But most teams don’t need a North Star.

They need to know what the hell to do next week.

Vision sounds good. Priorities work.

Here’s what actually builds momentum:

  • Picking 1-2 things to move forward (not 12).

  • Saying “not now” without guilt.

  • Repeating what matters until you're sick of it.

If your team is stuck, spinning, or burning out - it’s not because your vision isn’t big enough.

It’s because your priorities aren’t clear enough.

Your job isn’t to see the future. It’s to create focus.

Let other people worry about changing the world.

You? Just help your team make progress this month.

That’s more than good enough.
