VISION!!! Often seen as “squishy” - a waste of time, especially if you’ve sat through “Vision Statement Creating” meetings. However, Vision is, in fact, one of the most VALUABLE things a person, as well as an organization, can make! Why? A great Vision can change your LIFE! Literally! It seems that Human beings need a “Bright Horizon” to look forward to! Without a Life-Giving Vision, people perish!

In this episode, Andrew Reed dives into one of the most misunderstood — yet essential — elements of building a great organization: Vision. Far from being corporate fluff or an exercise in branding, Vision is described here as the foundational force that creates FOCUS. Without it, individuals lose direction, teams lose energy, and entire companies drift.

Broadcasting from a mountaintop in the Awakened Forest, Andrew shares how a compelling vision transforms not only organizations, but people. It sharpens decision-making, boosts morale, and fosters the kind of culture that outperforms competitors. From startups to M&A transitions, this episode explains how Vision informs Design, Culture, Leadership Development, Compensation, and Accountability — and how to build one that actually motivates real advancement.

Watch out for the next message, every Friday.

Operating an organization as an “integrated, coherent whole” is something most CEOs aspire to have… But it is RARELY accomplished. Not achieving this level of integration causes disfunction, waste and creates a miserable work atmosphere of frustration. It is disheartening… and, like a Natural system, like a human body, it is not healthy.

What does it look like when a company functions like a living organism — where every department, system, and person operates in mutual support of the whole? In this dense, highly practical episode, Andrew Reed unpacks the architecture of a truly integrated organization. Drawing from Multi-View’s work with over 1,300 companies, he reveals how high-functioning organizations rely less on talent and more on system design — using compensation, standards, and culture to wire the business together like a central nervous system.

This is a masterclass in systems thinking, focused on one foundational truth: fragmentation kills excellence. Reed explains how to build a culture where every action is aligned with purpose, financial health, and long-term quality. From compensation structures to people development and the groundbreaking Multi-View org chart, this episode lays out a blueprint for leaders serious about coherence, accountability, and lasting impact.

What separates the 90th percentile from the rest? In this episode, Andrew Reed explores what it truly means to be an Outlier — not by personality, pedigree, or raw talent, but by the consistent application of what MVI calls the “Best-Known Success Patterns.” These are not theories or trends, but proven behaviors and structures observed in elite individuals and organizations over decades of research and practice.

Best-Know Success Pattern (BKSPs) is what MVI is about! We measure 989 data-elements, with 922 cross-calcuations from 1,000 companies on a monthly basis! Then, FOCUS on the 90th percentile to see WHO is operating at the highest levels…then we study, document and communicate this to our clients! BKSPs are always accomplished by a minority of companies statistically and by definition. They are OUTLIERS, living in the extremity of the normally distributed Bell-Curve. The practices can be radically different or subtle. However, they are NEVER popular…at least at first… So being an Outliner is a lonely place! It takes courage! But this is the PRICE of accomplishment and being a real Leader!

This message isn’t about shortcuts — it’s about learning to recognize the "patterns" that work and aligning your life and company with them.
