Ann Sherry spoke at Challenges '08 on "Looking to the horizon: Successfully navigating a leadership vision"
The private sector said:
The real purpose of a vision is to provide a sense of direction, to describe a possibility. It is a rallying call, something for people to rise to. Check out your vision: does it make the heart beat faster?
The local government sector said:
Review and reflect on the vision regularly. Keep an eye on it and watch for distractions. Revisit your strategies and tactics and validate or change them. When the environment changes you may need to re-translate it for staff and stakeholders
The not-for-profit sector said:
Don’t take it for granted that it is easier to engage your team when you work in this sector. Is people’s passion about their jobs and the organisation actually aligned to the vision? Can you clearly articulate the vision to your governance board?
The central government sector said:
Share your vision stories at every opportunity. Paint word pictures for stage to help them see the vision. Remember the purpose of the vision is to energise staff, uplift and engage them. When engagement is missing, revisit the vision with staff.
