The first edition of Full Steam Ahead! an international bestseller that was translated into twenty two languages pioneered the concept of vision as the vital ingredient for truly satisfying long-term success. In this new edition, Ken Blanchard and Jesse Lyn Stoner offer new content and new resources to help you create and communicate a vision that will radically transform your work and your life.
When do we need vision? During times of growth, change, or opportunity so that we know we're headed in the right direction. We also need vision during times of uncertainty-when we ve lost confidence in our leaders, our institutions, or ourselves. Instead of focusing on "what's next," we need to refocus on
"what's first." Getting back to the basics means knowing who you are, where you're going, and what will guide your journey—having a vision. This is the place from which we must start (or revisit if we want to thrive. When work is meaningful and connected to what we truly desire, we tap into a productive and creative power stronger than we ever imagined.
