The BIG Picture
As founders of companies, we usually have an ultimate vision of where we would like to finish up when we retire or sell the business. But after many hurdles and “bad days”, frequently that vision is lost. Or we become muddled in the day-to-day minutia that doesn’t make use of our talent.
Many times Founders of smaller businesses come to rely too heavily on their employees or Board Members. Their own voice is no longer heard. This occurs when one idea doesn’t work well and new ideas need to develop. It is the loss of voice of the Founder that will put the company into a detour and quite possibly serious trouble.

But it is wise to also fine tune the BIG Picture to strengthen it for the current time. All employees should be on board with the vision. From time to time, you will find one who tries to derail what’s in motion. As leaders of your companies, it is your duty to be of the mindset to motivate everyone under your wing to take part and communicate with clientele that larger vision.
And as a job seeker about to interview, great questiona to ask would be one about the company long-term vision, as well as the vision for the team you are considering joining. The person interviewing you will be impressed.
