The best visions are BHAGs – big, hairy, audacious goals. In most cases, you’ll probably think of movies that involved overcoming seemingly impossible odds. Don’t just say “We’re going to make a 10%” improvement” – go for 50%, or 90%! Is there risk involved? A Chance you could fail? Sure, there always is with bold visions.

To begin with, think about something a bit smaller than "change the world," or "reform education," or some other BHAG - Big Hair Audacious Goal. I define critical thinking as the ability to think THROUGH to the next now. Think about something you wish were different. When you get that thought in your mind, write it down.

No, these are the big, hairy, audacious, goals (BHAGs). I’m not talking about reading a book, taking a course, doing some networking, or fine-tuning some aspect of your current skillset. The ones that are high risk, require a big investment of time, cause you to break out in a sweat, and have the potential to transform the way you lead.
