4. VISION STATEMENT An aspirational description of what an organization would like to achieve or accomplish in the mid-term or long-term future. It is intended to serves as a clear guide for choosing current and future courses of action. Most companies' vision and mission statements are useless. Where as a good vision statement can inspire loyalty, hard work and innovation, most of the framed statements hanging on the walls of businesses are nothing more than a description of what the company does. – Simon Sinek author of Leaders Eat Last.
