This book is designed for individual leaders to develop their own vision statement, and guides readers through the mechanics of forming a vision, for developing the scope of the vision, and processes for implementing that vision. The book is a guide for leaders at all levels, from top executives to heads of divisions and departments, from large corporations to small businesses, from manufacturing and service organizations to government and nonprofit institutions.
