A team aligned behind a vision will move mountains
In order to serve its purpose, a vision has to be a shared vision.
I think there is more cohesion when you have one director on set.
My belief is that policy cannot be piecemeal.
It's very important that we all have a common understanding of our purpose as a business - what we aspire to - and a strategy for achieving it.
If you could get all the people in the organization rowing in the same direction, you could dominate any industry, in any market, against any competition, at any time.
The E.U. needs a strategy that marries a shared vision to common action.
Usually, you come into it, and there's half a dozen different views or angles on what different people are wanting to see, from the producer to the director to the writers to the actors. I think 'Pacific Rim' has been an example of something that illustrates what you get if everyone is driving towards a common purpose.
The streams which would otherwise diverge to fertilize a thousand meadows, must be directed into one deep narrow channel before they can turn a mill.
No single person can possess the wisdom to chart our course.
We are one organization with one policy and command structure, and all the governments participating have to accept that.
The important thing, I think, going into any organization, is that all of the principles, all of the decision-makers are pointed in the same direction, with the same motives, the same desires, and then you have a chance.
Private advantages are often impediments of publick Profit…publick profits should be in a single power to direct, whose Interest is only the benefit of the whole
Sharing the same vision for what's on the page is always a good idea. The director's job is to establish what that is and make sure that everyone sticks to it when it comes down to actually executing it.
A single vision is more perfect than a committee vision because with everyone having their say, it becomes compromised.
For things at a common destination there is a common path. Not always easy to see. But there.
The collective influence of you and the other leaders will bring the rest along. If this does not happen, divided interest and loyalty will occur within the group.
