How to Create a Shared Company Vision that Will Energize Your Entire Team

After years of sleepless nights, spending time away from family, not having time to hang out with friends, and countless other sacrifices, your startup is finally gaining the momentum you’ve worked so hard for.

With the growth of your bottom line, you can also grow your team, and you decide to bring together the best talent you can find to launch your business properly.

You know the people you’ve chosen are some of the best at what they do, but you forgot about something.

While we think teamwork is easy, it’s not.

You can’t just throw a talented group of people together and expect them to get along; they’re naturally going to butt heads because they each have their perspectives and ideas.

While you may think that the best way to bring your team together is to rally them behind a clear vision statement, you’re wrong to believe that this is the first step.

In fact, rallying your team together behind a shared vision is the last step in creating a winning team culture.

Creating a powerful team and influential culture is a foundational process. Your startup team must lay the groundwork before the entire team can rally behind an all-encompassing vision.

The initial five steps your team must endure to create a winning culture are listed below. If you haven’t already, I recommend going through each step below to fully understand the process and help your team reach the sixth and final step.

1.       Psychological Safety

2.       Empowerment

3.       Embracing Conflict

4.       A Culture of Leadership

5.       Making an Impact 

When your team has completed the five steps listed above, it’s finally time to lead them through the sixth and final step: creating an all-encompassing team vision.

When team members realize they all have one common goal, they understand it’s in their best interest to work together productively to better the team and the mission.

  • Three essential steps in creating a shared company vision that will inspire your team. 
  • Three ways to effectively communicate your company vision to your entire team. 
  • Three elements will help you and your team create your shared vision that will energize your entire team.

Rallying your team together behind a shared vision is the last step in creating a winning team culture.
