In this episode of the Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast, Jared sits down with William Vanderbloemen to unpack why vision isn't just a top-level conversation—it's the fuel that drives every part of a healthy organization. From pop quizzes on vision statements to the concept of "uber vision," they explore why vision clarity at all layers of leadership is critical for building, running, and keeping great teams.
Key discussion points include:
Vision at Every Level: Why it's not enough for just the leadership team to know the vision—and how to make sure everyone from the receptionist to the CEO is aligned.
Uber Vision vs. Vision: How setting a high enough North Star can create momentum that carries the whole team farther than ever imagined.
Turning Vision into Action: Why casting big vision must be paired with clear, practical steps so teams don't feel overwhelmed but empowered.
Navigating Changes: How the age and size of an organization affect how quickly (or slowly) vision shifts can happen—and why urgency matters. (For a deeper dive into leading through change, check out our episode Leading Through Change).
The Power of Repetition: How Aristotle's principle of "reminding people of what they already know" helps leaders reinforce vision without sounding redundant.
Vision and Organizational Growth: Why understanding the founding heartbeat of an organization can help you contextualize vision for the future.
Whether you're leading a startup, a growing team, or a historic organization, this episode will help you sharpen your vision-casting skills, energize your team, and swing the pendulum farther toward meaningful impact.
