Welcome to the eleventh episode of Coaching Skills for Leaders. This week's topic: How to Create a Shared Vision.
Also a special welcome back to my favorite guest: Dr. Bonni Stachowiak, President of Innovate Learning.

You can't create a shared vision without having your own vision first. It's inappropriate for us to be dependent on others or independent from them. Rather, we need to have relationships of interdependence. Bonni mentioned a clip from the movie Spartacus which captures the power of interdependence:
Two key elements of a shared vision:
- The people involved have a shared picture of what the future looks like.
- Everyone is committed to achieving the work and working towards it together.
A few books that we mentioned on this episode:
- The Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge
- The Leadership Challenge by James Kouzes and Barry Posner
