Focus

I have a problem. Our leadership has avoided determining and focusing on a united vision. The Council doesn’t agree on the organization’s mission, vision, goals, and strategies.
They haven’t taken the time to develop strategic alignment because of unfocused communication and leadership. This makes it difficult to feel like the organization is aligned to achieve important goals. This has led to a lack of trust, collaboration, and agreement between the executive team and the legislative team and throughout the organization. Silo thinking and functioning becomes an issue when each area gets to define the vision. Top-performing teams may achieve some goals – but not the most important ones. The executive doesn’t know if it’s achieved important goals and implement its key strategies because the focus is so fragmented.
We need to take time to reach agreement and strategic alignment on our vision, mission, goals, and strategies. The executive team can develop a laser-focus on why and how to meet those goals. A laser-focus allows for clear communicate of the vision and top goals throughout the organization, developing strategic alignment throughout all ranks and among all teams. It becomes much easier to stay focused on the strategic goals and helps keep all teams and employees focused and on track.
