Test Your Vision: A Resource for Leaders

‘A real vision is lived, not framed.’

Johannes Vermeer, The Astronomer, c. 1668

Have you created a vision? You might be excited about it, but are others? Does your vision inspire, motivate, and guide decision making?

It’s better to test your vision now than to find out later that it’s simply a wall decoration.

And if you already created a vision a while ago, it’s still important to find out if people understand and buy into it.

Over the years, working with countless leaders and organizations on creating a shared vision, we have learned that a useless vision statement is actually worse than having none at all.

Leaders lose credibility when they put out a vision statement that is boring, vague, or worse, turns people off.

So even if you are clear about your vision, don’t assume others are as well. Ideally you have involved people in the process of creating it, and it reflects their hopes and dreams and incorporates their good thinking. Even so, you need to test your vision to see if you have accurately captured their input.
