"Every employee has the right to feel that he or she is contributing to the building of a legacy--something to value that is bigger and more lasting than anything that one could accomplish on one's own. Many companies are beginning to realize that all their employees have brains. How many companies, understand that their employees have hearts as well?"
Hamel & Prahalad, Competing for the Future
Why a Vision
Every great accomplishment has started with a vision. Someone or some organization first believed they could accomplish something and envisioned it before it ever became a reality. Starting any task without a vision is like getting into your car and driving without a final destination. There is no purpose, reason, or rhyme to why you are driving; there is no destination. You are simply driving, to drive. This is what happens to employees at work who do not have a destination or an ultimate goal in mind. Nobody knows why things are being done. People may have an idea or a guess to why things are done a certain way, but why have people guessing? Companies as well as individuals must define their destiny and have a strategic intent or vision. This will help fuel the fire to continually strive towards a known end.
Creating this destiny or vision establishes a purpose for everything we do. Our minds are powerful as well as our desire to succeed, and it is easier to tap into this power when we are motivated and know the direction we are headed. People need to know the destination their actions are leading towards to go the extra mile. Giving yourself or your organization a clear purpose in life will lead and guide you and them to excellence and success. Remember, everyone wants to be successful and everyone wants to have a purpose--so supply yourself, or your organization with a clear purpose and the opportunity to succeed! Envisioning and expressing what you want to accomplish in the end will help make your goals a reality.
