Have a Clear Vision

I read a great article today from the Harvard Business School called, "Achieving Excellence in Nonprofits." It mentioned that a key challenge for nonprofits is to stay focused on their vision and goals, and to develop a strategy to achieve their goals and meet their vision. It also mentioned that it's critical to be aware of ever-present changes in the environment in order to adapt and make the appropriate organization changes. Being stagnant will not help achieve the vision.

I found this article just a good reminder to all of us, whether we are a part of nonprofit or profit organizations. Without a clear vision or goals for your team, it's difficult to truly achieve success, because what success looks like will vary with each person. It can also lead to team frustration. People want to achieve their best, but it's difficult to do that without a clear focus.

Theme of the day - Have a clear vision!
