Leaders have to live and be the vision.
Vision is about zooming into the future as if it were closer. For forward-looking organizations, vision is a “must have” state of mind for top leaders because it decides whether you steer towards the right destination. But how do you sustain vision in practical everyday ways?
Articulate the vision: The vision needs to be a good metaphor - 'the guiding light' so that people can see themselves and their work reflected in it. For example, "how well will this goal contribute towards us achieving the vision of." With such clarity and detail, those others can see the same picture in their minds. Relate it in terms that align with each members level of education and capacity of understanding. First, start by identifying the core values of each individual vision, that would give you an indication of where they are coming from, then take those common values and translate them into strengths for the team. As a leader, you may not be able to include all visions into a single one, but you should get one that really unifies the most important ones for the team.
Share the vision: There is a keyword that is critical to always associate with the word, VISION, and that is SHARED. Leaders need to be constantly VISIBLE sharing VISION and enabling others to share it. To share is a fundamental part of any successful organization, group or team. We learn about it in a fundamental way as children, and then in adulthood, it gains a new context beyond the sharing of things, to sharing of information, self, and ideas. This can be vulnerable, but the more leaders share of themselves, and their commitment to a vision, the more alive it becomes. However, those in leadership roles can often get up in the rigor of business, as usual, they can neglect to reference the vision and keeping it alive.

It is actually a good habit and practice of creating and sustaining the vision and applying it to focus and steer your organization. Vision is not just a statement, you have to sustain it in practical everyday ways.
