A clear vision is important in leadership because it sets direction and provides motivation. 

It helps leaders to establish priorities and make decision. 

A clear vision also allows leaders to develop strategic plans and allocate resources effectively.

Sets direction

A clear vision sets direction for an organization.

It provides a sense of purpose and direction for employees.

A clear vision also tells employees what is expected of them and what they need to do to contribute to the organization’s success.

provides motivation

A clear vision provides motivation for employees to do their best work.

When employees know what the company is trying to achieve, they are more likely to be engaged 

, imagine a company whose leaders have a clear vision for the future. 

They will be able to articulate what they want to achieve, and they will develop plans and allocate resources accordingly. 

This will result in a more efficient and effective company that is better able to compete in the marketplace.

Conversely, imagine a company whose leaders lack a clear vision. 

This company will likely be less efficient and effective, and it will be at a disadvantage in the marketplace. 

Leaders who lack a clear vision are more likely to make decisions based on personal preferences or short-term gains, rather than on what is best for the company.

establishes priorities

A clear vision also helps leaders to establish priorities.

If leaders know what they want to achieve, they can more easily identify which tasks and projects are most important.

This allows them to allocate resources more efficiently and avoid wasting time on activities that are not central to

Work on what’s valuable

The focus of attention goes to what is most valuable. This is often the heart of a vision: getting people to focus on what is most important.

What is most important should be at the center of attention.

If it isn’t, it should be moved there.

This is one of the main purposes of a vision: to help an organization focus its attention on what is most important.

In summary, a clear vision is important because it sets direction, provides motivation, establishes priorities, and allows leaders to allocate resources more efficiently.

Living in the United States allowed me to learn about traditions from all sorts of backgrounds.

I was exposed to traditions based on sexual orientation, religion, historical events, location, and even driven by capitalism.

I remember approaching these with lots of curiosity but a particular defensiveness, mainly caused by a lack of understanding.

Once I entered the workforce, I was exposed to company-specific traditions.

All these traditions shared a specific set of traits, such as 

• Happening on a particular date
• Requiring a ritual to perform
• Driven by a particular subject
• Led by passionate individuals on these subjects
• Regarded as highly important by a subset of the company

This week, as my wife diligently sets up holiday decorations at our house, I am reminded that I work for a company that hires from around the world.

I am thankful that I learned about more traditions than what I had been exposed to so far.  

I am thankful that others think of me and want to include me in their traditions, even when I don’t have the foundation for the tradition.

I am thankful I no longer feel defensive about others’ traditions.

And I am thankful I get the opportunity to include others in my traditions.

As you think about your own situation, what traditions come to mind that are new to you? What have you learned from them?
