So, What Is a Vision and How Do I Get One?
A Vision is a guiding image of success formed in terms of a contribution to society. If a strategic plan is the "blueprint" for an organization's work, then the vision is the "artist's rendering" of the achievement of that plan. It is a description in words that conjures up a similar picture for each member of the group of the destination of the group's work together. What is the organization trying to solve? Where are we headed? What would we look like 5 to 10 years from now? (SHRM, 2018) People don't want to follow the leader's vision, but instead want the leader to share the vision that they already hold
What is a Vision Statement?
A vision is a guiding image of success formed in terms of a contribution to society. "What will success look like?" "The artist's rendering...." It is the pursuit of this image of success that really motivates people to work together.

T/F Sinek describes a Golden Circle of What, How, and Why related to employee engagement and intrinsic motivation. This starts with Why (which is the purpose/belief) or the Mission of the organization. Then it focuses on the How (the uniqueness of the organization), and the What (what the organization does) (Sinek, 2009). Binds workers together as they are working for a common purpose (Vanourek & Vanourek, 2012) The mission statement communicates the organization's purpose and direction to its employees, customers, vendors, and other stakeholders. A mission statement also creates a sense of identity for its employees.

Self-awareness Check: What are your values?
Think of times that you have found yourself bursting with energy. Reflect on past situations where you sensed that something was missing. Defining moments in your career, whether they were great accomplishments or significant setbacks. What stories are you most eager to share? Think of the best leaders you've known over the years, what did those leaders stand for?
