As a mission-driven organization, you understand the importance of creating a team culture that sees the big picture. Your mission gives your employees purpose and direction. Big picture thinking by your team strengthens engagement and encourages creativity.
You may think your team should know your mission and see the big picture but don’t. If team members don’t know what they are working towards, how do we, as leaders, think they can achieve the organizational goals?
The past year has brought about many transitions. Through the changes, it’s natural for your team to become unclear of what your organization’s big picture is.
It’s easy to get bogged down in the details of the job. There are always fires to stamp out. Working the weeds of the day-to-day, sometimes the big picture mission is temporarily forgotten.
It’s not enough to continually repeat your vision and mission statements, your team needs more understanding of the “why” behind your strategy. When they understand the economic, technical, and social realities of why your organization has certain policies that move toward the big picture mission, your team will take action in their day-to-day activities in a more empowered manner.
With more changes on the horizon, remind your team of what success looks like for your organization. This will build the momentum your team needs to keep you moving forward.
