VISION: WHAT IS IT?<\/h2>\n

Besides the obvious as it pertains to our ability to see with our eyes; what exactly is Vision? Well, here\u2019s a definition of Vision: The act or power of anticipating that which will or may come to be\u2026.Prophetic vision; the vision of an entrepreneur.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u00a0 Hmmmm\u2026\u2026\u2026OK. That narrows it down a bit; it certainly takes it beyond the realm of physical sight to more of seeing with the \u201cmind\u2019s eye.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 But when we hear the word \u201cVision\u201d thrown around the corporate world, what exactly does that mean? Well, that\u2019s a great question!\u00a0 Although I\u2019ve been involved with developing \u201cvision\u201d for Etech and felt that I had a good working knowledge and understanding of vision, sitting down to write about it proved to be a bit of a challenge. To help me \u201csort through\u201d it all, I relied on my usual research methods which are to look up the definition (see above) and to find some relevant articles on the subject.<\/p>\n

One of the articles I came across was a blog titled: Leadership Freak<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 This particular blog entry focused on Vision and provided some excellent quotes that really define what vision is.<\/p>\n

\u201cVision always centers on people never projects, programs, properties or profits.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> This quote spoke to me because it clearly defines what the focus of Vision needs to be, and that\u2019s people.\u00a0 Not that goals and profits are bad, but those should never be what drives us, not as individuals or as a business.<\/p>\n

\u201cVision answers the question: How will we make the world better for others?\u201d<\/strong><\/em> I loved this one! If our company vision statement doesn\u2019t answer this question, (Etech\u2019s does!), we need a new vision.<\/p>\n

\u201cVision makes work meaningful.\u201d Jesse Stoner.\u00a0 \u201cVision Points\u201d.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u00a0 I think these two quotes were my favorites: Vision is the compass for our direction and that direction should always be filled with purpose.\u00a0 I appreciated the insights provided from this blog, because they so clearly define what vision is and what it \u201clooks like\u201d in action.<\/p>\n

WHY DOES IT MATTER?<\/h2>\n

That\u2019s another good question.\u00a0 Why does having Vision matter? The first answer that came to my mind was this:\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWhere there is no vision, the people perish.\u201d Proverbs 29:18.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 It matters because it literally gives LIFE to a person or an organization. There has to be a Vision provided or we\u2019ll go nowhere and eventually dry up.\u00a0 We all need purpose and a reason for doing what we do, otherwise, there\u2019s really no point is there?<\/p>\n

As I wrote this blog, it got me thinking about our company, Etech Global Services and our corporate vision. Etech\u2019s Vision is \u201cto make a remarkable difference for our customers, our people and within our communities.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 Every one of our employees can tell you our corporate vision and every employee is committed to this vision. Not only that, but we esteem vision so highly we\u2019ve included it in the Twelve Character Commitments that are the foundation of the culture of our company.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m proud to be part of an organization that believes in and understands the importance of Vision.\u00a0 As I look back over the life of this corporation, I can see how Vision has allowed us to make a \u201cremarkable difference\u201d and continues to give life to our company.<\/p>\n
