Deciding How You Are Going to Achieve Your Vision

Having a vision and knowing your values is great, but you need to know how you’re going to get where you want to go. You have to set a path for yourself so you can eventually live in that picture you have created for yourself. Note how values come into play in the business world. Small and large companies are specific when translating their missions into action. Think of the values (those things that are treated with importance and respect) affirmed by companies like McDonald’s or Blockbuster. Both respect family values. The fast-food chain’s mascot is a cheerful and colorful clown, and the restaurants have play areas. The food chain is fast, clean, and brightly lit. It caters to youngsters. Unlike many other movie-rental stores, Blockbuster doesn’t have an adult-movie section. This feature has made Blockbuster a safe place for parents to send their kids to pick up movies. Both companies demonstrate their commitment to their corporate vision and values through their action plan.
Internet service companies have also incorporated values into their business models. All major Internet services now provide parental control blockers. These devices help parents keep their children safe from Web sites that they consider questionable while their kids surf the Internet.
