Setting and managing vision is important for all organizations but it can feel weightier for leaders and managers working to make the world a better place.

The vision represents the meaningful positive change in the world that can be made through the activities of the organization or team.

It inspires optimism that the world can be a better place.

It gives everyday work meaning.

It organizes work in a particular, strategic and coherent direction.

Well, an appropriate and well-communicated vision can do those things.
