Vision And Team Development

Vision and Team Development

One of the greatest challenges!

One of the greatest challenges! One of the greatest challenges any leader has in regard to team development is the clarifying of a vision. Without a clear vision the leader is crippled in his or her ability to develop a team concept.

Vision and team development is an evolutionary process!

Vision and team development is an evolutionary process! “In an empowered organization, the best guidance comes from the team’s understanding of the organization’s vision and values.”* *Richard S. Wellins, William C. Byham, and Heanne M. Wilson, Empowered Change (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1991), 78.

Vision and team development is an evolutionary process! “It (vision) cannot come from the rules or books of procedure; that is not empowerment. No book of procedures can answer all the questions that arise, and manuals are quickly outdated.”* *Richard S. Wellins, William C. Byham, and Heanne M. Wilson, Empowered Change (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1991), 78.

Vision and team development is an evolutionary process! “....vision of the organization tells the team in which direction the organization is going and what it plans to accomplish.”* *Richard S. Wellins, William C. Byham, and Heanne M. Wilson, Empowered Change (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1991), 78.

Vision and team development is an evolutionary process! “The organization’s values tell the team how to accomplish the vision. Values are the subtle control mechanisms that informally sanction or prohibit behavior.”* *Richard S. Wellins, William C. Byham, and Heanne M. Wilson, Empowered Change (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1991), 78.

Vision is....

Vision is.... “....... only an idea or an image of a more desirable future for the organization, but the right vision is an idea so energizing that it in effect jump-starts the future by calling forth skills, talents, and resources to make it happen.”* * Burt Nanus, Visionary Leadership (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1992), 8.

To Build Upon Vision...

To Build Upon Vision... ....those who are in leadership must entrust the development of that vision to others. The “how-to’s” of a vision must be released by the visionary to others for successful accomplishment of the vision.* * Richard S. Wellins, William C. Byham, and Heanne M. Wilson, Empowered Change (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1991), 78.

Vision is..... ....... the domain of leadership. The visionary does not live in the past but rather seeks to create a new future............ Reggie McNeal, Revolution in Leadership (Nashville: Abingdon Press, 1998)

A True Visionary is.....

A True Visionary is..... ....one who does not accept the present as the ﬁnal conclusion but is rather “drawing up plans and supervising bridge-building projects to link the present with a better future they have seen.” Reggie McNeal, Revolution in Leadership (Nashville: Abingdon Press, 1998)

Vision and Commitment?

Vision and Commitment? “Our commitment to the goals of the organization for which we work exceeds the money we receive for our efforts. We are committed to our jobs because of the opportunities that they provide us to do something personally meaningful with our lives.” Samuel A. Culbert, The Organization Trap and How to Get out of It (New York: Basic Books, 1974), 152.

A Common and Shared Vision

A Common and Shared Vision Unites any team!

The Goal of the Visionary The goal of a visionary is to aim above and beyond compensation. The treasure of the visionary is the fruit of the task, not how much the job pays. A common and shared vision unites any team. Attempting to develop a team without a unifying vision is difficult if not impossible. Team leadership calls upon the leader to set the standard for the team. In short, a leader’s success in establishing a team-based organization will demand a high level of commitment to both work and co- workers.14
