– repetition is the key! This will make you avoid a typical pitfall which is the large gap between what you think you said and what your team thinks they heard.
In a situation where the vision is unclear, people will resort to acting in accordance with whatever seems best to them. Once I was attending a brand meeting in a mid-sized organization. The Vice President’s speech alarmed me because in expressing his opinion on some branding issue he referred to the vision and how his strategy would align with the company’s vision. A while earlier, the CEO had articulated his vision and the two seemed to be poles apart. The fault is not just of the junior leader, in this case the Vice President. The point is that instead of assuming that you have communicated your vision clearly you must ascertain from the people responsible for its implementation whether they have understood it correctly.
You can test the vision alignment within your organization simply by conducting this simple exercise. Ask everyone to write a short paragraph explaining the vision on a small piece of paper without signing their name. If people know the process is anonymous, they will stop worrying about whether they are getting it right or wrong and actually concentrate on articulating the vision as they have understood it. Collect all the papers and read through each and every one of them.
You will indeed be very lucky if every single person on your team has stated the vision exactly as you have articulated it. More likely than not, you will end up discovering that what you hold as the vision is not what people have heard. This feedback will help you figure out where the miscommunication has happened and how to communicate better in future.
