I’ve written that the “secret of life” is never growing up, and indeed, that child’s sense of wonder is an element of idea generation that just HAS to be there if an organization is going to swing for the fences with big changes, or to go after those “BHAGs” (big, hairy and audacious goals).

Masterful a cappella groups spend a lot of time defining their vision: the BHAG’s they see themselves achieving in the future. . Driving along the highway with the radio tuned to the Here & Now show, I was just “sort of” listening. But then….Deke Deke Sharon (producer for The Sing Off and both Pitch Perfect movies) came on to be interviewed about the resurgence of interest in a cappella music.

Jim Collins coined the acronym BHAG for Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals. T hroughout history, the battle cry has been used to rally troops to come together and defeat a great enemy. The same goes for battle cries in cinema and modern story telling. The leader pulls it together, gives out a shout, and him and his team give the opposing forces a run for their money. Image by Andrew Gould. The battle cry has been a powerful force.

The best visions are BHAGs – big, hairy, audacious goals. This post was recently published at Smartblog on Leadership : Leading change starts with a compelling leadership vision for change. According to leadership expert John Kotter , a lack of leadership vision is one of the most common reasons why transformational change efforts fail. A leadership vision isn’t just for large, CEO led, company-wide transformational changes.
