A Vision Statement is a written declaration of the
Strategic Vision of a firm.
It contains the desired future state at which a company hopes to arrive and

in your firm of what you are trying to build.
Ideally, a vision statement has the following characteristics:

Long-term oriented and timeless

Leaders should communicate the vision regularly, create
stories or narratives that illustrate
the vision, act as role-models
by embodying the vision, create short-term objectives compatible with the
vision, and encourage employees to craft their own personal vision compatible
with the organization's overall vision.
The term must not be confused with a
Mission Statement.
