Principle 4: Without a vision the people perish, with Steve Chalke’s guest and expert witness Steve Parish, Owner of Crystal Palace FC

Without a vision the people perish: Strategies can become straightjackets. People work together best when they serve a compelling and well-articulated vision. In this episode Steve sets out his fourth principle, and his guest and expert witness Steve Parish, Owner of Crystal Palace FC, responds. 

“Steve Parish is the co-owner and chairman of Crystal Palace FC. We talk together about Principle 4: Without a vision, the people perish. I love my conversation with Steve because I've supported Crystal Palace all my life. I've supported them through thick and thin. And I've seen the extraordinary work that Steve has done to turn around the fortunes of the club. We have spent the last 10 years consecutively in the Premier League. It's a miracle, it's a wonder, and I wanted to find out more about the vision that drives Steve forward.” 

– Steve Chalke
