Wherever there is a vision, there must be a visionary and implementer working together to bring it to life. Trouble is, this incredible partnership, vital to every organisation, can be fraught with many trials. If you are the visionary, you could mistakenly think the implementer that works with you doesn't listen, is there simply to follow your instructions, and takes pleasure in asking questions that are irritating and totally unnecessary. If you are the implementer, you could mistakenly think that the visionary doesn't listen, is wild and unrealistic about what is really needed to see the dream become reality, and takes pleasure in running roughshod over your carefully laid out plans. But is that the true picture? Author Marjie Sutton thinks not. So, in her book, Marjie goes on a quest to unveil the true picture and strengths on both sides of what has every potential to become an incredible partnership. Writing with incredible insight and clarity, Marjie shows how both can better understand each other's unique calling, gifting and perspective and work together more effectively. Without this understanding the business, organisation or church vision can become obstructed, distorted or never realised. Instead, in Vision Accomplished, chapter by chapter, visionaries and implementers will learn how to meld their strengths to get the job done and bring the vision to life with minimal bumps and casualties along the way.
