Common pitfalls to avoid when crafting your vision
Biggest Takeaways You Don't Want to Miss:
- If your vision statement sounds great, but no one can remember it, is it really moving the work of your school forward?
- When you create a vision statement by committee, you end up with a vision statement that everyone had a part in making but no one fully supports in the whole.
- “Shared vision” doesn’t mean that everyone had input in creating it. Shared vision means that everyone embraces the vision and agrees to work toward achieving it.
- Be stubborn about your vision but flexible on the details.
- The more vague or open to interpretation your vision statement is, the less alignment you will have around your vision in your school.
I know I can sound like a broken record when it comes to talking about Vision statements, but the reason is very clear -- The right vision changes everything. The wrong vision changes nothing.
So, how can you ensure you have the right vision for your school?
