• In the last unit, we learned about vision, mission, and values. In this unit, the text states: “…a strategy captures and communicates how vision and mission will be achieved and which goals and objectives show that the organization is on the right path to achieving them.” What negative consequences can emerge when vision, mission, or values contradict strategy?

• What negative consequences can emerge when vision, mission, or values contradict strategy? 

"Planning starts with vision and mission and concludes with setting goals and objectives. In-between is the critical role played by strategy."(Carpenter, Bauer, & Erdogan, 2012). What happens if the vision, mission, or values contradict strategy? According to the "Management Principles"(Carpenter, Bauer, & Erdogan, 2012). There are two aspects of strategizing that you should recognize which are corporate strategy and business strategy, corporate strategy answers strategy questions related to “What business or businesses should we be in?", business strategy, however, focuses on how a given business needs to compete to be effective. 

When vision, mission, or values contradict strategy some negative consequences can emerge such as the mission statement is not disseminated internally while it is used by employees, stockholders, and leaders throughout the organization. The vision statement is the foundation of the company and is based on the company’s core beliefs and It addresses the company’s purpose for the future and what the organization exists to achieve. The strategies born to help the company to achieve the goals effectively. So that it can cause a ship to get lost in the ocean and could not find the right direction.

There was a time when I work at a coffee shop, the vision is to serve with pride and working with passion to deliver the café dreams. The mission is to be the leading coffee roaster and purveyor of gourmet coffees and foodservice products around the community by offering the guiding principles of integrity, quality, service, and relationship.

But the point is, they don't have a clear training plan on emotional management for the barista. What happened if they get too busy and rising their temperature? They can not be working with passion to deliver the café dreams for certain.

• How can leaders ensure that strategy matches the vision, mission, and values?

Imagine that when you are driving a car, you want to go left but your hand turns the wheel right...If the strategy doesn't match the plan, this situation might be the company's story on the road. So the leaders must ensure that strategy matches the vision, mission. But how do leaders to ensure it? When the leaders thinking about what can we do, it's a chance to rethink the vision and the mission that is what do we really want to want to do? what do others expect us to do?
