I'd say my view is aligned with these points where you, or your interlocutors, take a bottom-up look.<br/><br/>However I don't share opinion about value of setting a big vision and sharing them with the whole company. Actually all companies I worked for but one had a vision and virtually none of them worked for people except maybe top management who created the vision. Yes, leaders need to know where they're heading and what are their goals, but coining a vision statement doesn't move people a milimetre closer to achieving those goals.

I hope you and your readers agree that the points I’ve raised go beyond the industry of public relations.
