What’s your team’s North Star?

 

Visioning for businesses starts with one question: Where are you headed?

You may have a mission, which is worthy and exciting. You may even have a Vision statement, which is inspiring and aspirational.

And now you want to clarify more around where your businesses is headed so you can get buy-in from your leadership team and re-fuel the rocket ship.

You know you need more than just a paragraph with some positive words about being innovative, disruptive, and collaborative.

A company Vision statement should outline exactly what success looks like to your organization. It should be inspiring, achievable, strategically sound, and shared amongst the whole team widely. When this process is genuine, it can align the team, inspire motivated talent to step up to the plate, and re-invigorate your leadership.

Beyond pursuing the mission, a Vision must paint an extremely specific picture of what the business will be celebrating in ten years or twenty years. What will be the values you’ve stuck to? What will it feel like, smell like, sound like?
