From the pages of Soar!, a stunning volume of reflective writing and deep personal reflection, comes the third installment of Dr. David Katz's inspiring and popular eBook series. Reaching across generations and cultures, Katz delves into what it means to live with courage, honor, and integrity, and how these qualities can manifest not only in one's private life but also in their professional lives. Katz encourages readers to "live like a hero" and "live like you've got something worth living for." The third chapter of Soar! : Build Your Vision by Dr. David R. Katz focuses on how leaders must "keep an open mind." This crisp, terse opening chapter reminds the reader just why this second book in the Soar! series is so important.

In this engaging foreword, Katz shares the results of a landmark experiment, conducted by Cornell University psychologists showing that an increased percentage of people are able to remember information from an oral presentation if they can visually see the information presented visually as well. Katz contends that there is a scientific basis for "vision and memory." In fact, he contends that the way in which we use visual images to form memories--the process by which we imagine what we hear and see--is the same process used when we form new memories. Drawing on this research, Katz offers helpful advice for building a strong vision, as well as reminding readers that leadership is always built on vision, and that such leadership is most effectively fostered by encouraging people to develop and maintain a vision of their own.
Next, in the third chapter of Soar! : Build Your Vision, Katz reviews some of the more effective ways in which leaders can make the most of "the big picture" --and how these strategies can extend beyond the personal level. He also examines how leaders can overcome obstacles in the public arena, such as the sometimes paralyzing effect that fear has upon individuals. Finally, the fourth chapter of Soar! : Build Your Vision addresses one of the most common failures of leadership: the inability to communicate a clear vision. Katz reminds readers that this failure can be easily avoided if leaders simply make sure that they are speaking and acting in accordance with the evidence and the will of the people.
