Sharing the Project Vision

The success of any initiative depends, to a large extent, on the creation of a shared vision. A shared vision exists when people:
  • Are inspired by the purpose of the effort
  • Feel that their values and ideas are incorporated into what the organization is trying to achieve
  • Can easily communicate the mission and direction of the initiative
  • Recognize that individual and organizational needs are being addressed
  • See how their day-to-day activities support the overall goals

As can be seen from this list, the creation of a shared vision is a tall order. It requires the creative contribution of organizational leaders.
