People who work need a vision for what they are doing and where their company is going, it is part of their purpose for being at work. If a workplace lacks vision for what it is doing the employees will just be surviving and not moving the company forward (because they don’t know where forward is). If you are a business owner or in management at your place of work, you are responsible for expressing what the businesses vision is if you have one and if you don’t it is your responsibility to sit down and figure out what it is before it is too late. The business leadership needs to keep the vision in front of the other team members to encourage them and let them know how things are progressing toward the goal. Your business vision needs to be compelling, one that all team members can catch onto and are willing to work toward. The business team needs to be able to see the strengths, convictions and purpose of the vision clearly. Visions that get people excited enough to work to make them come true are ones that have these ingredients; Integrity, values, and passion. These are things that come from within. These are the ingredients that fuel the firs to make the vision happen. Millionaire philanthropist Andrew Carnegie exclaimed, “A great business is seldom, if ever, built up except on the lines of strictest integrity.” If you do not have a vision for your team or maybe it is just blurred, here is a good checklist of what a vision needs to be built on, so you can share it with your team and move forward toward a successful goal.
Clarity: Answers what the team must know and what they need to do.
Purpose: Gives direction to the vision
Goals: Brings targets to the vision.
Honesty: Brings integrity to the vision.
Passion: The fuel of the vision.
Challenge: Brings stretching to the vision.
Modeling: Brings accountability to the vision.
In quoting one of the wisest men who ever lived, King Solomon of ancient Israel “Where there is no vision, the people will parish.”
I agree whole heartedly, keep your workplace alive and moving forward, find your vision.
