Vision
What is a vision?
A vision is a ‘big picture’ of a preferred future state. To be useful, a vision should have most, if not all, of the following characteristics:
Be grounded in business knowledge. The most effective leaders are those who truly know their industry, their orgnisation, and the technologies important to the success of their business. The best visions are grounded in the extensive business knowledge base and are usually developed over time.
Be concrete destination. A vision describes the future in concrete, specific images and desired results.
Have a clear destination. Most often, a vision paints a picture of specific end state or condition to be achieved.
Present a clear contrast between current conditions and the preferred future . A vision clearly articulates way things need to change and ways in which the future state will be preferable to the current situation.
Be medium to long term. A vision describes a future state – not next week or next quarter but the longer term.
Stretch people. A vision inspires people to stretch their abilities and reach higher levels of achievement.
Tie in with needs and desires of others. A vision inspires by inviting people to work toward things that are important to them and to the large society around them.
Be important to the leader. A vision derives from what a leader wants to achieve for the organization and its people.
Provide a sense of significance. A vision helps people understand the importance of the contribution of their part of the orgnisation and the people within it to the large orgnisation.
