(Jane Howell's research on V.I.S.C.)

Creating a shared vision of the future Visions that come from the organisations institutional planning processes very rarely take hold ,if employees feel that they do not own their companies vision ,it is unlikely that they will want to follow that vision that possess. Company visions that are generated by senior individuals or teams tend to reflect what is important to those senior levels. The vision is normally to put things right. Managers often find that ,as their particular business problem begins to disappear, so does the vision. Vision is on-going, continuous and dynamic. Vision should be apart of the daily leadership activities.
