Conclusion

People who are positive about life, are future oriented, and are creative will probably be better at developing a project vision. Although some people may be born visionary leaders, it appears that those who are not can be taught how to develop a project vision. This chapter has explained various vision-training approaches and discussed the strengths and weaknesses of each. The chapter introduced and explained a three-step approach to developing a project vision, which can be used by either a leader or a project team. Once the vision is developed, it can direct the goal setting, planning, and work on the project. This will lead to far greater levels of performance and outcomes than would otherwise be possible.
