Purpose

1. To understand the way visions are constructed by leaders in ongoing groups and organizations
2. To identify strategies that leaders employ to articulate and implement their visions

Questions:

1) select any two people in leadership positions to interview. They can be leaders in formal or infor­mal positions at work, at school, or in society. The only criterion is that the leader influences others toward a goal.

2. Conduct a "30-minute interview" with each leader, by phone or in person. Ask the leaders to describe the visions they have for their organizations. In addition, ask, "How do you articulate and implement your visions?"

Leader #1 (name) __________________________________________________________________________
Vision content                                                                         Vision articulation                                                               Vision implementation

 

 

Leader #2 (name) __________________________________________________________________________
Vision content                                                                         Vision articulation                                                               Vision implementation

Questions to answer:

1. What differences and similarities did you observe between the two leaders' visions?
2. Did the leaders advocate specific values? If yes, what values?
3. Did the leaders use any unique symbols to promote their visions? If yes, what symbols?
4. In what ways did the leaders' behaviors model their visions to others?
