Vision: The Driver Of Entrepreneurship
Content: Great and successful entrepreneurs have achieved their purpose and goal by setting a strong and clear vision, and by pursuing it with passion. If we look at Facebook, Google, Virgin, Tesla or even the Government of Dubai, all these successful endeavors have a determined entrepreneur that has formulated a clear, yet ambitious and sometimes impossible mission behind their success. These successful entrepreneurs have a common way on preserving their vision. On the one hand, they remain engaged to the extreme with their startups, and on the other side, they have been able to surround themselves by great people and empower them to extend and implement the vision. This former allows the entrepreneurs to keep a grip on the pulse of their company, while staying connected to their market. An example of this can be seen with Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, who continues to personally welcome all new employees, despite his company’s staff count now reaching the around 10,000-person mark. The latter approach is what H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has used, who, after setting a ambitious and disruptive vision for his country, has been able to attract the best talents, nurture them, and ultimately empower them to implement this vision in their own domains of expertise. But the success of a venture is not only about defining and pursuing a vision, but also about being able to instrument the vision, formulate it into something tangible, and then share it as well. This last component is critical for the entrepreneur to be able to imprint the same passion, energy, dedication and drive to a wider audience and team. When the vision gets spread across the organization, it translates into culture.
