Are you like Alice in Wonderland?

I attended a coaching session last night led by Ron Markloff with some of the leadership team at FBC Toms River. Art Norregaard, the church administrator, shared an insight from Alice in Wonderland that perfectly fit the moment. Here is the quote he shared from the book and a thought about the importance of a vision.

One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. “Which road do I take?” she asked. His response was a question: “Where do you want to go?” “I don’t know,” Alice answered. “Then,” said the cat, “it doesn’t matter.” - Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Every leader without a vision is like Alice in Wonderland. We don't know where we want to go. However, once vision is defined, other questions become easier to answer.
