1. Leaders today must be able to create a compelling vision for the
organization. They also must be able to create an aligned
strategy and then execute it. Visions have two parts, the
envisioned future and the core values that support that vision of
the future. The ability to create a compelling vision is the
primary distinction between leadership and management.
Leaders need to create a vision that will frame the decisions and
behavior of the organization and keep it focused on the future
while also delivering on the short-term goals.
To learn more about organizational vision statements, do an
Internet search and review various vision statements.
In this assignment, you will consider yourself as a leader of an
organization and write a vision statement and supporting values
statement.

that you are familiar with, or a fictitious organization. Then,

the products or services it provides, and the description of its
customer base.

and aspirations of the organization.
Once you have developed the vision statement, describe how

2. stakeholders, that is, the owners, employees, vendors, and
