For a mission to lead into a vision, it must emanate from the heart of
the visionary. The visionary who is often the leader needs to feel
passion for their cause, in order to insure that the staff and
students are empowered with these beliefs. As was evident in the class
discussion educators who feel connected to their school and its
vision, describe the school using only the most positive words. This
communicates a positive message to the general populace. They then
view the school in a positive light and are more receptive to allocate
funds and send their children to the school. This domino effect will
remain a priority in my work as a leader since it is a core basis for
success.
