Does your company have one clear vision? Or does each department have their own vision? If your employees’ view of the corporate vision is a cloudy one, it can be detrimental to the performance of your organisation.
An organisation that has a confused or worse, a delusional image of where they want to get to and what they want to achieve, will never reach their goals. Likewise, a company with a multitude of visions rather than a single one to focus on will be far less likely to achieve any of their aspirations.
Not sure if this applies to you? Here’s a quick test – can you recite your organisation’s current corporate vision? If you can, can you explain it to someone in less than 20 words? Do you feel connected to it? How does it relate to your day-to-day work? How does your job role contribute to the organisation achieving this vision?
