What a concept! Thanks for sharing these thoughts. Getting to the meat of the matter and feeling good about it, seeing and feeling a vision that everyone believes in and works toward is always bigger than self, organization and today.

Once that nonprofit has created the vision about defining what they "Do" want, it's then time for them to go into action. Instead of looking at what they don't have to make their vision reality, they should take this process one step further and ask, "What's it going to take to make this happen?" That helps frame the next steps of what to do and moves the organization from focusing on the negative and why it won't work, to the positives and what they need to make it work. Thanks for sharing Dave. I always enjoy reading Hildy Gottleib’s thoughts and your reflections to them are the perfect match.

Such a simple statement, but what an eye opener. I talk with many nonprofits and not only is the mission about what we don't want but moving the organization forward is very often a conversation about what's wrong and how to fix it rather than what they want the organization to look like moving forward. Excellent post! “Creating a vision is about defining what we DO want”.
