An Ambiguous Vision

Consider the following example, which illustrates the adverse effects of an ambiguous vision.

Imagine that you are at a family reunion picnic, and you decide to try your hand at a game of archery. You select your bow and receive as many arrows as you wish. As you step up to the line, you notice there is no target in sight.

Then someone who is overseeing the game says, “Okay, select an arrow, draw your bow, and shoot!”

What do you do next? Do you just stand there waiting for further instructions? With no defined target, I bet you would hesitate to draw your bow. But, let’s say you shoot one arrow just to see what happens. If you shoot, you would learn what it feels like when you do not know where the target is.

Without the feedback of seeing how close you came to the target, you could not adjust your aim in order to hit closer to the bull’s-eye next time—because there is no bull’s-eye! You would have no way of knowing if you came close to hitting the target. In other words, you could not gauge your level of success.

An ambiguous vision without adequate feedback, in your personal life and in the workplace, will lead to confusion and frustration.

Achievement and recognition are two of the best motivators. And for our personal life and as leaders, we should provide ourselves, as well as our employees, with a chance to seek and achieve fulfillment in endeavors.

But first, the vision of where you are going must be clearly defined, understood, and accepted as reasonable to be fully beneficial. Your personal life and your workplace employees need a vision for the future so actions can be corrected when targets are missed and so everyone can feel the deserved satisfaction when targets are hit.
