Issues Addressed
The need for shared vision and values is understood in most organizations, yet few acheive it. Shared vision and values exists only when a crititical mass of stakeholders understands them, believes in them, lives them, and aligns daily action to them.
Executives often tell us that they have shared vision across their organization, but when we ask employees, they reveal that they do not understand the company direction, do not believe executives are serious about it, or simply doubt whether it is achievable given the dysfunction in their culture.
Getting the words on paper is the easy part. Bringing them to life is the challenge. Vision and values are not shared and meaningful until they are deeply embedded in individual and organizational behavior, guide decisions and compel positive action on a daily basis. We can help you build such a shared vision in your organization.
