It is a proven fact that when introducing any type of organizational change, the success of the effort rests within teammates who are willing to represent and consistently promote team harmony. Leading these teammates is a Vision Champion – the person who believes in the change, can visualize the end goal, and who is driven by and advocates for that vision.
According to Harvard Business Review, 90% of strategies fail due to poor execution. Wow! This means that a company can have a great strategy but … lacking a Vision Champion who devotes their focus and time to making that strategy clear and actionable through tactical planning, team engagement, and effective communication, the execution of that strategy will fail.
Character traits of a good Vision Champion include the ability to:
- Develop trust and influence teammates
- Problem solve to overcome obstacles to change
- Fact check and resolve conflicts
- Determine practical priorities that keep bridging the gap between here and there
- Instill accountability and monitor progress to goals
- Support, motivate, coach, and inspire
- Align everyone with a shared vision
- And more!
Because business strategy is an endless pursuit of winning, a Vision Champion must be able to see and seize key opportunities. Whether these opportunities come in the form of better use of resources, re-evaluating the chosen direction, or knowing when to make advantage creating changes, the Vision Champion persistently moves your vision forward, orchestrates profitable solutions, and drives desired results to make your business growth aspirations a reality!
