Strength is derived from unity. The range of our collective vision is far greater when individual insights become one

“Unity is strength. When there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved,” said American poet Mattie Stepanek. 

A collective vision or shared vision is dreaming together or what you and other members want to accomplish or create as a part of the organization. For instance, a winning team playing well, a startup progressing to become successful, or teamwork to get your organization at the top. A collective vision is generatedfrom all the members of the organization, developing commoninterests, and a feeling of shared purpose for all the activities of the organization.

The collective vision is a dominant thing and if we are working as a group, we can achieve wonderful things together. We can do this by starting with a clear collective vision. For any organization collective vision plays a significant role. You need to motivate people to collaborate to accomplish tasks. Developing a shared or collective vision will play a key role to get your team doing efforts in the same direction so that they can concentrate on the organizational goals and work together to achieve them.

Taking the time to develop a shared vision will play a vital role in getting your team working in the same direction so they can focus on the goals and work together to accomplish them.Collective vision initiates from co-creating the vision. In simple words, it is a long terms goal that is set by each member of the organization together. It is a secret recipe for any high-performing and successful group of people.

An African proverb states that “If you want to go quickly, go alone but if you want to go far, go together.” A well-shapedvision creates a picture of the desired future. It will impart energy to each member of a team to move ahead in the same direction. It inspires and excites the team so that their decisions, behavior, and actions can support the commonly created vision.

For any team, collaboration or teamwork is important as it enables the team to work like well-oiled machinery and accomplish success. It is like “Many Voices, But One Message.” If there is no such unity, any team is destined to fail. 

Every day organizations try to develop a vision that can lead them towards success but this seldom happens. The reason behind this is that their vision is generated by a few members and it never becomes a shared vision of an entire organization.

One important thing that is required in this context is the understanding of values. Being a leader, you need to start by knowing the values and personal vision of each member of the team. The self-vision and personal values of each member of the team should align with the collective vision of the organization so that the members can happily work in that organization.

However, the values of an organization need to more than a reflection of the member’s collective personal values as these values direct behavior and decision making. Thus it is essentialto select the values for an organization that is required to guide it into a successful future.

Another point that needs to understand in the collective vision scenario is that words mean different things to different people. For instance, if you ask various people to tell the definition ofcommon words like integrity or creativity, you will be surprisedto know that each answer greatly differs from the other. It is essential to give a clear definition and illustration of what behavior looks like for each value.

Vision is not only a declaration that you displayed on the walls of your office. A very small number of companies deliberately activate a collective vision. This leadership ability is importantfor any company. Virtuous leaders know the significance of collective vision and know well how to execute it.
