Question

1. Explain how an organization’s leader is responsible for the mission, vision, and values of an organization.

Answer 1

The vision clearly states the direction of an organization. In other words, vision reflects where the organization desires to go.

The mission is similar, and connected to, its vision statement. The mission clarifies how it is going to get there. So it is a roadmap for reaching the organization’s desired destination.

Values shift the focus from the greater organization to the individual. Values define who individuals need to be to achieve the organization’s vision and/or live out its mission. Values articulate a set of desirable traits or characteristics that people can exemplify in their faithful service to the organization and its cause.   
Leader responsibilities in fulfilling vision, mission and value of organisation:

• Clearly set organizational direction and purpose;
• Inspire loyalty and caring through the involvement of all employees;
• Display and reflect the unique strengths, culture, values, beliefs, and direction of the organization;
• Inspire enthusiasm, belief, commitment and excitement in company members;
• Help employees believe that they are part of something bigger than themselves and their daily work;
• Be regularly communicated and shared, not just through monthly announcements and reminders at the company meeting, it must permeate all communication at every level of the organization every day;
• Serve as the reason for why courses of action are chosen, people are hired, markets are selected, and products are developed;
• Challenge people to outdo themselves, to stretch and reach.
