  1. Credibility Through Vision NACM, 2006

  2. The Bottom Line • “If a service does not possess a well defined strategic concept, the public and political leaders will be confused as to the role of the service, uncertain as to the necessity of its existence, and apathetic or hostile to the claims made by the service upon the resources of society.” • Samuel P. Huntington, U.S. Marine Corps Strategic Concept

  3. WII-FM • If, • We don’t manage strategically • Then, • We don’t serve our clientele or use our resources as effectively as we can • Therefore, • We can’t make a case for ourselves • We lose our support • So, • We don’t get the resources we need • And, • Our jobs get tougher • Judicial independence suffers, and • We don’t get paid very well

  5. Vision • Put it before them briefly so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it and, above all, accurately so they will be guided by its light. • Joseph Pulitzer

  7. Vision Test • A realistic, credible, attractive future • A future that is better, more successful, or more desirable than the present • A desirable destination • An idea so energizing that it, in effect, jump starts the future by calling forth the skills, talents and resources to make it happen

  8. The Vision Test • Keep it simple. • Can you explain it to yourself? • Can you explain it to your kids? • Say it while standing on one leg? • Trial Court Performance Standards to the rescue!

  9. Three Key Questions • Where are we now? • Where do we go? • How do we get there? • The difference between being an entourage in an activity trap and an organization with a focus.

  10. The Strategic Six • What is the court here to do? • How does your role contribute to what the court is here to do? • What should we be held accountable for? • What should you be held accountable for? • What are the major hindrances to getting your job done? • What do you need for you to do your job better?
