Examine your organization and leadership through the following questions:
- What is vision in your work environment and how does one foster a shared vision in this kind of environment?
2. What signals (verbal and non verbal) do individuals send to leaders to communicate that they are inspired?
3. What metaphors/visual pictures are seen in your organization to communicate a shared vision? For example, some organizations use sports metaphors such as we are a team and others use family metaphors as we are one big happy family.
4. What do you think your/your leader’s strengths are at creating clarity as a collaborative leader? Areas of improvement?
5. What recommendations/changes would you make based on your evaluation of your organization to Inspire a Shared Vision?
Your initial post should demonstrate and integration of readings and lessons. Support your work with references and intext citations.
This week’s forum post is about answering the following questions about organizational leadership. One of the first questions is about vision in the work environment how shared vision is fostered. The shared vision in my work environment is communicated by our vision statement.
The second question has to do with signals (verbal and non-verbal) that individuals send to leaders to communicate that employees are inspired are. Some signals that I have noticed in some of the organizations that I have worked for is when employees volunteer for more responsibilities and when they verbally agree with what management’s vision for the organization.
The third question is about what metaphors or visual pictures exist within my organization to communicate a shared vision. At my current organization, we always refer to ourselves as a team. In the Navy, all commands have a command slogan that the sailors abide by. At my first command, it was “protect your people” and at my second command it was “dynamis ex cardias”, which means to fight from the heart.
These command slogans are a sort of code of conduct that sailors can use as a guide for how to conduct themselves. Another thing sailors constantly say and believe is in the “one team, one fight” mentality. Some of my current leader’s strengths when trying to create clarity as a collaborative leader are that he tests out his new processes himself to see how feasible it would be for the employees that perform the tasking on a day to day basis, he also is extremely communicative on how he would like tasking accomplished.
One of his weaknesses is that he continuously relies on the same employees instead of trying to push all employees to perform their best. If my leadership would fix these shortcomings, then the potential for all employees to continue believing in the shared vision would be greater. Thanks!
I currently work in the Finance office for an Ohio Air National Guard Unit near me as a Civilian. The visions for the Ohio National Guard as a whole is, to be a trusted team of soldiers, Airmen, and civilians that serve the community through agility, collaboration, excellence, and strong leadership. I do feel the vision is trickled down through leadership in the office setting that I am currently in.
We have a strong core of individuals that lead and follow to always go above and beyond what we are asked. Coworkers always stay late, even if not told to do so if needed and are always positive and helping each other if one part of the office is swamped compared to another. This creates a strong work environment that does encourage collaboration.
The vision is not about the details like the mission statement and it can be difficult to create that shared vision in multiple sections of one extremely large organization (Ward, 2015).
Our officers in the office do a great job always explaining how the Finance office does directly contribute to the mission of the base and the vision of the Guard. I think strong leaders need to communicate ways their section does contribute to the overall vision to create that culture around the entire organization of that shared vision. Leaders need to create time to discuss how organizations will positively increase their forward-looking capacity (Kouzes & Posner, 2009).By always looking ahead, leaders are able to create a shared vision more effectively.
One of the positive things that our leaders do is share books or quotes that embrace the vision of not only the Guard but that of some of the most successful people in their respective fields to start off the week in a meeting. Our leaders also conduct a Quality assurance meeting in a collaborative setting and always discussing together how we can improve our metrics.
I do think there is always room for improvement, and our leaders could always communicate the issues that they see that negatively impact the shared vision and culture we are trying to create. I often see people overlooking things because they are afraid of conflict.
I think we could add this to our meetings to not put anyone on the spot but just discuss things we are seeing in general. Collaborative leaders need to have strong soft skills and developing soft skills through an organization is critical for leaders to be able to create that shared vision (Goman, 2017).
