was going to ask. The only question he still needed to an-
swer was what his bigger purpose and vision were. It’s
hard to get excited about lightbulbs, he thought, as he
looked at Joy’s letter and realized that there was still one
sheet he hadn’t read yet. He placed it on top of the other
pages and chuckled once he realized it was from Marty.
Hi, George. Marty here. There was a study conducted
where two airplane design teams were separated. One
team saw a model of the finished product and was
given a vision that they were building the fastest,
newest, most advanced airplane ever built. The other
team were separated into small groups who were told
to design each piece without knowing what the end
design and vision would be. Not surprisingly the team
who had a vision for what they were building worked
twice as long and hard and finished in half the time as
the other group. Thought you should know this.
MARTYThis gave George an idea and it was so good that if
Marty was in front of him George would hug him. Well,
maybe not hug him but definitely give him a high five.
George called his team into the conference room for a
meeting where he was going to share his ideas with
them. His team was on his bus. Now he wanted them to
propel the bus forward with purpose, vision, and inspira-
tion. He just hoped his ideas would work.
