What it Means to Serve
Seeing the future involves developing a compelling vision that stirs passion within you—and the people on your team. Invite participation from your team members about your team's purpose, values and goals. Consider how you can add value for your key stakeholders, such as customers, employees and shareholders/owners. Give serious thought to where you and the team would like to be several years in the future—then paint a picture of a better future that people can rally around.
