How to Write a Manifesto: Characteristics of a Manifesto
Manifestos are most compelling when they are written in the present tense, as if though the desired outcome is already happening. We find the best manifestos have three characteristics:
- They are provocative.
Manifestos are powerful because they interrupt the status quo. The language of your manifesto or aspirational statement should stretch and challenge what currently exists. This is why we sometimes call manifestos “provocative propositions.” - They are grounded.
At the same time, manifestos cannot be fanciful. They have to be grounded in reality and built upon the strengths of the people, team or product they advance. - They are really desired.
Finally, manifestos generate results when they reflect something that is truly desired. It’s no use to write a manifesto for something that doesn’t excite emotion or meet a real need. A manifesto is meant to motivate; motivation begins with desire.
