How to craft an inspiring Vision statement

Your Vision statement is more than a catchphrase; it's a call to arms. As a conscious CEO, making use of your Vision statement as a strategic tool is one of the most powerful ways to align your organization's actions with its purpose. 

In fact, your Vision statement can and should be used in every Board meeting to drive strategic conversation.

If you do not have a Vision statement, start by asking 'What are the top 3-5 intents that captures the spirit of this organization?' These 'intents' should be non-negotiable.

Over time, and if used correctly, this statement should spur the behaviors and actions that will create the desired future for your organization.
