How to get buy-in to your vision

A.  Clear and compelling


the vision must have a strong “Why”.  A message that doesn’t have a strong why is just information that may educate others…but a message with a strong why is a vision that will move people. Step 1 - Make sure the vision burns within you before you attempt to transfer it to others.

Illustration of heat loss…when heat is transferred from one object to another, there is always a loss of heat.  The source will always retain the greatest amount of heat…So, if you want it to burn in someone else, it must first be an inferno within you.

1.  Regardless of how compelling the vision may be and how passionate you may be about the vision…the vision will fail it if is not communicated with clarity.
Step 1 - Make sure the vision is clear with you before you attempt to transfer it to someone else.

Nobody is going to be as inspired by the vision as you are…but the more clear the vision is, the greater the amount of “heat” that it will retain.
B. Relevant

In order for others to buy-into vision they need to understand how it is going to impact their life. When we were building our new building, one of the elements that I was most excited about was having an office…I had pastored for 10 years without any type of space to meet with church members…However, I realized that in order to get the church to buy-in, they would be more impacted by expanded parking potential, exceptional bathroom facilities and classrooms for their children to learn in.

When possible, share the vision through stories.  Rather than facts, figures and statistics, paint a picture of what the impact will be.
C.Share the vision strategically.


Don’t tell everyone at the same time. First share the vision with those that will dream with you Second share the vision with those that will think with you Third share the vision with those that will question you Finally, share the vision with those that will move with you
Don’t tell everyone the same thing • The 80-20 scale • Tell 20 percent of the people, 80% of the vision • Tell 80 percent of the people, 20% of the vision
Don’t tell everyone the same way

D. Repetition Share the vision often. Share the vision through various methods Share the vision through multiple voices.


*Remove the expectation of 100% buy-in. The very greatest leaders do not get 100% buy-in.

To be able to effectively cast a vision, the vision must first be crafted.

Vision is cast for a very important reason: It provides direction for passion and purpose.

Proverbs 29:18 - Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint.

If people lack a vision, they will not continue down the path necessary to see it come to fruition (Discipline).

You cannot wander toward greatness, success, or growth. it is a destination that must be defined and we do that with vision casting.

Points for Casting Vision

For the leader personally

Live out the vision with passion - People must see the vision within you before they will buy in.

Be consistent with the vision - let the vision be the true guide for your actions and the action of the organization. Don't change with each fad or fashion.

For the group

Communicate the vision often - You must remember to repeat the vision often so that individuals will know, without a shadow of a doubt, what the vision for them and the organization is.

Communicate the vision CLEARLY - (COMMUNICATION BREEDS CLARITY.) If there is confusion within the vision that is being cast, it is destined to fail.

Know your audience - Don't change the vision based on the audience, but tailor the communication of the delivery so that you discuss how the vision is carried out by that group and how it will benefit them and the organization when they do it.

1. Personal Vision (physical, financial)


2. Spiritual Vision


3. Professional/Ministry Vision

Crafting Personal Vision


If you aren’t growing, then you are dying. Personal goals is what you envision your life can be. A better husband, father, leader, etc. The person you want to become doesn’t happen overnight. Rather, it is daily decisions and actionable goals that improve over time. Readers are leaders, set a goal to read more this year.


Financial Vision


If your finances are a mess, then you are likely stressed out. One of the greatest hinderances to successful ministries, is financial issues. Some are not able to seize particular opportunities because they are bound to financial hinderances.


Set some personal financial goals. Whether its saving, paying off debt, or setting a giving goal.


Physical Vision


One of the best things you can do for yourself is take care of your body. God has given us one body, and that body will help us reach our goals. Whether its losing weight, getting up early in the morning and exercising, or changing the way that you eat, set a goal to help you grow!


Spiritual Vision


Within the context of Christianity, you become the person that Jesus Christ has called you to be. Prayer, Bible study, fasting, giving, faithfulness, witnessing are spiritual disciplines that will increase your capacity for growth. Spiritual goals will improve your soul, outlook, world-view, and alter your purpose. Keeping Christ at the center of your life will improve every other area you are looking to improve.


Professional Goals/Ministry Vision


What are your professional goals? Do you want to move up within your organization? Do you want to become your own boss, or own your own business? If you are a minster, what are your ministry goals?


Vision for Your Church or Organization


Vision begins with you as a leader. As you begin to grow and reach your personal vision, you then begin to craft a vision for your organization.


Michael Hyatt talks about the benefits of having a vision for your team:


1. A sense of purpose. Too often teams spend an inordinate amount of time spinning their wheels and just doing whatever tasks have come up most recently. Having a well-thought-out vision allows your company to zero in on the goals, projects, and tasks that have the highest impact on the metrics you want to prioritize.


2. A positive risk. Inciting risk might not feel like a benefit, but the best future doesn’t actually lie within your comfort zone. Just because an idea makes you uncomfortable doesn’t make it a bad idea. In fact, it might be the exact idea you need.


3. A clearer future. A vision is not an action plan and you won’t be figuring out the “how”—at least not yet. But it does free you to dream and imagine what could be possible, as well as what the end result will be.

Welcome to the Mastermind Leadership Podcast

The Mastermind Leadership Collective’s vision is help you:


Master the Leader Within
Develop and Equip the leader within each individual.
Help Organizations reach their goals through leadership development


Mastermind Leadership Collective is made up of three unique leaders: Evan Grizzle, Jason Staten, and Nate Whitley.

Leadership defined (Last episode) - Websters definition - "the action of leading a group of people or an organization."

This definition omits one very important part of the equation: The Motive

Simon Sinek - Start with WHY!

Why do we lead?

What are our motivations?

Sometime's leading isn't fun, but if we can flesh out our motive it can still be fulfilling.

It leadership isn't fulfilling we should address our motives.

Altruistic - The betterment of others, a group, or the organization

Selfish - ladder climbing, self-promotion, selfish agendas.

Leading is two fold:


We lead with our vision in mind - What is the vision of the organization and how can we achieve it?
We lead with the individual's vision in mind - What is the vision of the individual and how can we help them achieve it? (As long as it doesn't hinder the corporate goal/vision).

What roll do we play in other's vision?


Do we know their vision for themselves and are we helping them obtain it?

What roll do others play in our vision?


Do we cast our vision well enough, and motivate people in the right direction to see that vision come to pass on a corporate level?

Motivation vs. Manipulation


The root word of motivation is: Motive

There is a motive with both motivation and manipulation.

Motivation - Lead or push toward a goal that is better for the person, the leader and the group!

Manipulation - Lead or push toward a goal that is better for the leader.

While we hope we can reach a diverse audience with this podcast, we also offer personal coaching and mentoring. Additionally we are available individually to come and train your teams at your local church or business.
