Vision statement crisply articulates the family's dreams and desires for the future.
Vision statement adds value in the following ways by:
- Offering guidance to the Family Members since it articulates their aspirations
- Setting decision making boundaries as members are aware of the impact of a wrong decision
- Setting behavioural boundaries as the Family Values enunciated in the Vision statement will have an impact on behaviour
- Instilling emotion as an articulated Vision statement will compel the members to pursue the purpose of the business
- Propelling growth as Vision statement contains goals
- Keeping curiosity alive as there will be learning along the way in the path to realising the vision
- Facilitating difficult conversations as everything will be based on the statement; so no personal judgement will be involved
- Enabling leadership, as it acts as a reminder to the leaders when they go off track in respect of goals set in the vision statement
