Manage the plan and reality to the vision-contribution.This is very simple on paper.Assuming we have achieved the first three, let’s focus on the fourth as it is vitally important.Firstly, too many managers make a subtle twist here and manage the deliverables to the plan forgetting that the vision is the ultimate goal!
