Uncovervision

A vision is inspirational; it is what you see yourself or your organization becoming if you stay true to your mission.

Vision is the inspirational end state to guide people or organizations forward smoothly. A visionary changes the course of business by stepping out of conventional thinking, seeing beyond what all others see, or selecting untaken routes for charting new revenue or growth.

 A leader with a clear vision takes their organization through the necessary steps to achieve that vision confidently.

Vision is the perception of the future: Vision is a qualitative statement defining the "perception" of the organization. Vision provides insight into where an organization needs to go and is future-oriented. It is defined as a thought, concept, or object formed by a manifestation of the “to-be” state of the business.

Leadership vision is to be a guiding light and show the direction for the organization; think outside the current constraints and comfort zones, and reinvent their business with the “end in mind.” By clarifying a clear vision, the management is able to build a solid strategy with practical road mapping to get there; motivate their team to act wisely and make progressive change smoothly.

Vision is not limited to black or white, but embraces the full spectrum of color: Contemporary organizations are hyper-diverse, professional vision encourages talented people or the organization as an organic system to discover “who they are,” and “who they want to be.” Pale vision with “near-sighted” views distracts the team and discourages transformative changes. A good vision statement either for personal development, business growth, or societal progress, should motivate people continually to "reach beyond their grasp," in pursuit of longer-term goals.

Vision is not gray, but with the full spectrum of color to inspire inclusion. There should not be stagnation in engaging the talent from different demographics, industrial verticals, or cross domain professions. Having an inclusive culture always helps people envision a brighter future, learn from diverse people, and engage people to achieve the “art of possible.” Orient people and help them understand the value of harnessing the differences, co-shape a colorful vision to make transformative changes.

Vision should be grand enough to unify; dynamic enough to adapt, and practical enough to sustain: Leaders have to live and be the vision. If a vision exists only on paper, it is useless. A vision needs to adapt over time since the global competitive environment doesn't stay still; it also needs to be stable enough to make it worthwhile by taking concerted effort to attain it. The senior leaders’ vision needs to be the principal guide to high-level decision-making in strategic oversight and resource allocation in implementation.

The way to keep the vision fresh is to align each newly assigned task with its specific value and purpose towards the final vision. Vision is an everyday pursuit as change is constant, there is always something to learn anytime, but one must be present at the place and at the right position to improve vision everyday; think and act wisely to realize vision with accumulated steps.

Without vision, there will be no human progress. A vision is inspirational; it is what you see yourself or your organization becoming if you stay true to your mission. Vision is what you would like to be in the long term by following the wonderful quote: "We must be the change we wish to see in the world."
