vision

Examples of vision in the following topics:

• A Leader's Vision

  • Effective leaders clearly communicate their vision of the organization.
  • A strong leader builds trust in the vision by acting in ways that are consistent with it and by demonstrating to others what it takes to make the vision a reality.
  • Vision is an essential component of an organization's success.
  • A vision describes an organization's direction, while its mission defines its purpose.
  • Vision also plays a significant role in a leader's strategy for the organization.

• Defining the Vision

  • An organizational vision should be made up of two fundamental components: a core ideology and an envisioned future.
  • It is paramount to defining the company's vision and to creating a vision statement.
  • One can find a lot of resources online and offline on how to write compelling vision statements.
  • However, we're much more interested in the process of crafting a vision.
  • That introspective process that helps people and organizations alike to define a Vision.

• Nearsightedness, Farsidedness, and Vision Correction

  • It allows light perception, color vision, and depth perception, but not all eyes are perfect.
  • For the vision to be clear, the image has to be formed directly on the retina.
  • Nearsightedness, or myopia is a vision defect that occurs when the focus of the image is in front of the retina.
  • Farsightedness, or hyperopia, is a vision defect that occurs when the focus of the image is behind the retina.

• The Overall Strategy

  • (Often a "Vision Statement" and a "Mission Statement" may encapsulate the vision and mission. )
  • For example, a charity working with the poor might have a vision statement that reads "A World without Poverty. "
  • Organizations sometimes summarize goals and objectives into a mission statement and/or a vision statement.
  • Others begin with a vision and mission and use them to formulate goals and objectives.
  • This demonstrates an example of how one case went from vision to various strategic objectives

• Vision: The Visual System, the Eye, and Color Vision

  • Vision depends mainly on one sensory organ—the eye.
  • All vision is based on the perception of electromagnetic rays.
  • There are two types of these photoreceptor cells: rods, which are responsible for scotopic vision (night vision),  and cones, which are responsible for photopic vision (daytime vision).
  • The front of your eye has many more cones than rods, while the sides have more rods than cones; for this reason, your peripheral vision is sharper than your direct vision in the darkness, but your peripheral vision is also in black and white.
  • Color vision is a critical component of human vision and plays an important role in both perception and communication.

• The Mission Statement

  • Leaders have the responsibility of communicating the vision regularly, creating narratives that illustrate the vision, acting as role-models by embodying the vision, creating short-term objectives compatible with the vision, and encouraging employees to craft their own personal vision that is compatible with the organization's overall vision.

• Strabismus

  • This refractive error causes poor vision in one eye and so stops the brain from being able to use both eyes together.
  • If the eye being tested is the strabismic eye, then it will fixate on the object after the "straight" eye is covered, as long as the vision in this eye is good enough.
  • As with other binocular vision disorders, the primary therapeutic goal for those with strabismus is comfortable, single, clear, normal binocular vision at all distances and directions of gaze.
  • Advanced strabismus is usually treated with a combination of eyeglasses or prisms, vision therapy, and surgery, depending on the underlying reason for the misalignment.
  • The procedure can typically be performed in about an hour but double vision can result, and occasionally vision loss can occur.

• Honesty in Leadership: Kouzes and Posner

  • Integrity and openness are essential to developing trust, and without honesty a leader cannot gain and maintain the trust needed to build commitment to a shared vision.
  • Inspire vision: The vision is the emotional element of a company's mission statement, and this vision must be communicated honestly and with passion.
  • Promoting the company's vision allows leaders to inspire employees.
  • Showing appreciation, creating a supportive environment, and fostering community sentiment helps build commitment to the leader's vision.
  • Effective leaders set strong behavioral examples while communicating their vision to inspire employees.

• Key Behaviors of Transformational Leaders

  • Transformational leaders challenge followers with an attractive vision and tie that vision to a strategy for its achievement.
  • Leaders with an inspiring vision challenge followers to leave their comfort zones, communicate optimism about future goals, and provide meaning for the task at hand.
  • The visionary aspects of leadership are supported by communication skills that make the vision understandable, precise, powerful, and engaging.
  • The foundation of transformational leadership is the promotion of consistent vision and values.

• Perceiving Motion

  • Monocular vision, or vision from one eye, can detect nearby motion; however, this type of vision is poor at depth perception.
  • For this reason, binocular vision is better at perceiving motion from a distance.
  • In monocular vision, the eye sees a two-dimensional image in motion, which is sufficient at near distances but not from farther away.
  • In binocular vision, both eyes are used together to perceive motion of an object by tracking the differences in size, location, and angle of the object between the two eyes.
