Top Ten Things About Creating a Business Vision
Top Ten Things About Creating a Business Vision
1. Are Focused
They are able to visualise in a focused and very clear way what 'perfect' will truly look like in the future.
2. Involve Others
Bring others into the contribution, such that they might try things they might never have before.
3. Realise Core Strengths
Whilst being ultra-keen to grow and evolve, these people are true to the core strengths of the organisation and see the future through that.
4. Take Time Out
Make the time for themselves and help others to free up thinking room. And use it fully.
5. Play the Game
They encourage a creative environment and take full part personally. They themselves set out to find ways of generating novel and fun ways to make this live.
6. Think Big
Top class visions may even be unattainable within lifetimes and are often part of a bigger legacy. many major corporations have 50-year (and more!) visions.
7. Use Their Senses
A vital part of Visioning is to be able to use all five senses as fully as possible and also that wonderful sixth sense, the one of intuition.
8. Are Knowledgeable
They keep their eyes and ears open and are fully aware of the possibilities. they suck in information and ideas to help form their thinking. Media, other people, non-business analogies and metaphors too.
9. Put Aside Beliefs
Great visionaries can shift themselves into a different dimension when looking at the future and leave their existing beliefs outside the room.
10. Are Evangelists
They shout the outcome vision from the rooftops, relating so well to all of their people. They explains it in words which mean something to all involved in future success.
And taking the time out to share these visions, better still, involve your people right in the thick of it - builds teams, encourages contribution. Generates motivation, engagement and commitment.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
