Is Your Plan Too Vague?

On Tuesday, February 10, 2009, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner attempted to explain the bank bailout plan. By many accounts, he failed because the plan that he described was too vague and too sketchy.

What about your plan? Is it too vague? Can you "sell" it to your donors, volunteers, and staff? Do you have concrete numbers that support your mission and goals? Can people take your plan, knit their hearts to it, and run with it? 

Hmmm. It may be time to go back to the drawing board, rethink and rewrite your existing plan.
