Emerging Vision: The Secret To Winning When Plans Break!

In today’s unpredictable world, long-term planning often fails. That’s why the most effective leaders let vision emerge — through learning, experimentation, and real-world feedback.
In this video, we explore The Emerging Vision approach: how leaders discover direction step by step, why action comes before understanding, and how companies like Spotify and Airbnb uncovered their true purpose by iterating, sensing, and adapting.
You’ll learn:
• Why rigid plans collapse in fast-changing environments
• How vision grows from patterns, feedback, and lived experience
• The role of psychological safety, experimentation, and collaboration
• Why modern leadership requires humility, curiosity, and continuous learning
This episode is Part 3 of our Visioning mini-series.
Next up: The Entrepreneurial Approach — where vision starts with imagination and bold intuition.
