Vision

My husband lectures in a tertiary college in town on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. This is a well established college with a proper holding company and academias in the board of directors. Big visions and missions were written in the early days when the company was formed. Yet, what we have found tragic is that the heart beats of the founders were not transferred to the grass root. Years passed by, people who are good at administration are employed to run the individual colleges, but they are not people of vision. Without vision people perish. We are seeing our local college is loosing its edge, but the person in charge does not have the drive or inkling to turn it around. He is a person gifted in administration, very good at following a system. When the system needs to change to cope with the changes in the world, he no longer has the reference point to guide his action. He simply lacks the vision to take the college forward. Right now what they are doing is like disaster management. People who joined the college with zeal and passion are now leaving. My husband is a business enablement consultant. He has tried to speak with the person in charge in this local college, but in his eyes my husband is merely a lecture who does not know anything about administration. Little does he know that what he needs is not an administrative solution, but a strategic one. In life, we easily get bogged down by administrative needs and forget about our vision; purpose, destiny.
