“Great vision communication usually means heartfelt messages are coming from real human beings.”
John Kotter - American author and professor
A vision inspires, motivates, and directs a team towards a shared future and ensures it achieves great things. To do its job, a vision needs to be continuously communicated in an inspiring and motivating way to give clear direction to a team. This is seen as one of the most critical skills of successful managers and leaders today.
