I have to agree with Coach in regards to walking the walk. But the point he missed is that has nothing to do with vision. Instead, that has everything to do with his/her reputation of honesty.

Vision has to be constant and consistant in the messege.

I agree, it is important for managers to know their vision and to communicate it with their team. Otherwise they risk confusing their team and impacting their ability to execute effectively.

Great comments! It is so important that the manager or leader develop a meaningful relationship with their team in order to be able to spread their vision around.

A manager cannot expect blind obedience. Thats why this post is so great! A manager’s vision is something that he can convey to his employees and then show them through his actions and his focus. It can be his greatest asset, or it can be the destruction of his reputation if he fails to keep a constant vigilance in making his vision happen.

One thing that comes to mind and has come up often in leadership books is MLK’s “I have a dream” speech as one of vision. It relates in all senses from a personal vision (MLK) then expands to what others can relate in THEIR vision of the future. The speech uses the “mind’s eye” to discribe his vision that EVERYONE can relate.

When creating a “vision,” make sure your audiance can relate to the vision! This is also called buy-in! Without the relationship they can envision themselves OUT of the picture!
