Creating a Shared Vision
A vision statement is a description of the preferred future that a team or organization aims to create. It helps answer the question of what they truly desire. Having a vision provides a common direction, hope, and motivation. It also allows for the potential of significant change and encourages creative thinking and passion. A well-defined vision serves as the basis for creating a mission statement, setting goals, and planning actions.
VISION STATEMENTS ARE EXPECTED TO:
- Be created based on the anticipated future state.
- Provide motivation and inspiration.
- Represent fundamental beliefs and values.
- Lead to a sense of uniqueness.
- Be concise, clear, and avoid any ambiguity.
- Align with the mission, goals, and organizational culture.
