Vision Statement Tag

My childhood years come to mind while writing this Leadership Development series....as well as my prayer for eagle-eye vision. I grew up on a cattle ranch. Not a sprawling, luxurious ranch a movie star buys to escape a crazy life. This was more like a Laura-Ingalls-Wilder-Little-House-on-the-Prairie ranch. Our home was an eight-hundred-square-foot tar-papered homestead shack. Not bad, except that we had no running water. Yes, I used an outhouse every day of my life, until I was thirteen years old. Looking back now, I think - How did we do it!!??

With 79% of Millennials seeking a coach or mentor, and 91% aspiring to leader, they have a series of pressing questions on their mind when they interact with you:
  • Can I trust you as a leader?
  • Are you firmly grounded in who you are and your purpose in life?
  • Are you a person of  integrity? Do you stick to your values and virtues, even under pressure?
Thus, here are my questions for you, the leader:
  • Do you have a vision statement?
  • How about a values statement?
  • Have you ever thought of writing a virtues statement?

A Google search to learn more about writing a vision statement left me confused. The process was supposed to provide clarity for moving forward.  Instead, I felt cross-eyes.  There are just so many different ideas. And really – what is the difference between a vision, mission and purpose statement?!? Some experts define each of these in the same way. Others will say exactly the opposite! What kind of work have you done to create your personal vision statement? Does it energize you? Is it providing the clarity you need to keep moving forward?
