Leadership Trainings Clarify the Goals of Organizations
Truly great companies understand the difference between what should never change and what should be open for change, between what is genuinely sacred and what is not.
This rare ability to manage continuity and change—requiring a consciously practiced discipline—is closely linked to the ability to develop a vision.
Vision provides guidance about what core to preserve and what future to stimulate progress toward.
But vision has become one of the most overused and least understood words in the language, conjuring up different images for different people: of deeply held values, outstanding achievement, societal bonds, exhilarating goals, motivating forces, or raisons d’être.
However before we get ahead of ourselves and begin writing out a number of vision statements or mission statements, we’ve got to tap into the heart of our team first.
Perhaps all this talk of vision for you as a manager seems out of place – isn’t it up to the CEO, the Board, the C-suite to identify a vision?
Well, it’s a bit more complicated than that.
As a manager in a start-up perhaps the vision is still being cultivated and reshaped. Perhaps in a more established startup as a manager your role is to give this vision life to the team.
At its final stages of becoming a high-performing Unicorn Team, your team needs an all-encompassing vision so they can work towards bringing a unified goal to life.
Not setting or not knowing how to set clear priorities and goals in a way that empowers and inspires your team at your startup can hinder your success.
In other words, organizational alignment is a key differentiator between high-performing and low-performing companies.
Vision is a picture of a desired future state sufficiently appealing and compelling to drive change forward—the “where we want to be.”
An all-encompassing vision will help in clarifying the priorities and goals of your organization.
Aligned goals create a familial atmosphere where everyone works together and understands their role. Simply put, if your organization isn’t aligning goals, you’re at a disadvantage.
Creating a vision and a set of supporting values will help you create a strong sense of team.
The best visions are short, memorable and inspirational.
