014: Vision — How to never overlook an opportunity
Manage episode 448535129 series 3580697
On January 16, 1840, two midshipmen aboard the USS Peacock peered into the icy distance and saw something that could have altered the course of history: the vast, mountainous expanse of Antarctica. But their discovery was dismissed, unlogged, and forgotten. Why? The Peacock's captain, Lt. William L. Hudson, fearing the wrath of his overbearing commander, chose to stay below deck, ignoring the sailors’ report—and with it, the chance for glory.
It wasn’t until 12 days later that the expedition's lead ship finally confirmed the sighting. By then, French explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville had beaten them to the punch, claiming the honor of discovering Antarctica on January 20th.
This is more than just a story of missed opportunity. It's a reminder that vision—true, forward-looking vision—shouldn't be the privilege of a select few. When leadership stifles the input of its team, great opportunities slip through the cracks.
On this episode of Success by The Book, Coach Bill Hart, Dale Vermillion, and Kyle Draper will dive into how to cast a vision for success and, crucially, how to involve your entire organization so no opportunity is overlooked.
