A vision statement is nothing but a road map indicating what we want to become and guiding transformational initiatives setting a defined direction to achieve success. According to Roy T. Bennet, in his book “The Light in the Heart” mentioned that “Good leaders have a vision and inspire others to help them turn vision into reality. Great leaders create more leaders, not followers. Great leaders have a vision, share a vision, and inspire others to create their own.” This shows the importance of vision in any person’s life. In this assignment, I would like to throw light onto my vision and the reason why I choose this and what are all the steps that need to be taken to realize my vision. In order to state my long-term vision, I would like to …show more content…

I have already started creating a wholesome network here in Thunderbird. Hopefully, before leaving the United States, I would be able to find contacts who can help me in an emergency, while going forward with my NGO establishment. I’m one among the lucky Indian woman who has got a valuable education, good family. But to realize this goal, I should develop my skill of balancing my life along with my family. This needs some time and organized behavior, which I’m the process of learning. And also, to travel towards my long-term goal, I need to land up in a satisfactory job, where I can learn effective management skills. The other reason I believe that I need to get a job in management is that I could learn how to be an effective leader, which make people follow me and lets me establish my task in an efficient way. Initially, in this, I would face some indirect criticism, but if I learn to be a high-impact leader, I can handle these situations and neglect the possibility of criticizing. For me to accomplish this in India will not be a substantial challenge, since I know my culture and also know how well to handle the situation. But I may find it little difficult when I grow my organization internationally. To Tackle this, I need to know about different culture and learn about their laws. I have planned to prepare that while I’m in Thunderbird by mingling with people and knowing about their culture. Also …show more content…

But then I looked into few motivational videos and few non-governmental organization where young woman is doing an active role in changing the world. This gave me a confidence that nothing is impossible in this world. All we need is strong willpower, hard and smart work. With good family and great support from my husband, I feel that, I have bypassed the initial obstacle in my life. I had little exposure to the outside world before I came to the United States. But now I have started gaining world knowledge by talking with new people and learning new things. I always believe in two quotes which I have set as my life motto. They are: “Winners do things differently” and “Aim for the moon, if you miss you may hit a star.” I also have personal experience with these quotes. Everyone said that it is not possible for me to pursue a master's degree in the United States because I’m the only daughter of my family. They said that my family will not be able to send me to such a distant place. But I didn’t leave my hope. This seemed to be a dream for me and I didn’t stop dreaming, which came true at one point. I hope this vision will also come true one day with my constant learning and active steps towards my

This vision must resonate with team members. I consider this a weakness because the visions I develop do not always pass the four-part litmus test. Typically visions I create are missing team buy-in. To prevent this, I need to involve team members in the vision creation process. Additionally, I must explain the challenges of today and the vision must focus the team’s eyes towards a brighter future. Furthermore, the vision must be achievable and draw team members in with feelings of belonging and excitement.

A Ghostly Spark Introduction (reveal): Native American culture has always been an interest of mine. Since my beginning with the Boy Scouts of America on my path to Eagle Scout, I have come closer to the dense but often forgotten history of the First Nation people of America. Upon joining the Order of the Arrow, the BSA’s honor society centered around Native American virtues and beliefs, I have continued to take it upon myself to learn more about the long forgotten Native history. While I knew about the general struggles the Native Americans faced as “white man” invaded the unharnessed Western frontier, I had not learned about the specific catalyzing incidents that caused such conflict and suffered between these two cultures. While searching through topics like native music and combat, I knew I needed an event that sparked the rift between these two types of people, growing U.S. government and early

I have had tough hope once, I had to move to a different state and start to get used to the new place. Moving was hard and took a long time to move everything to our new house.
