Which is a desired characteristic of a vision statement for a change?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A vision statement for a change is a concise and compelling description of the desired future state that the change aims to achieve. A vision statement should have several characteristics, such as being clear, inspiring, realistic, and verifiable. Being verifiable means that the vision statement can be measured and confirmed when it is achieved. The other options are not desired characteristics of a vision statement, as they are either too detailed, vague, or irrelevant.

D sounds tempting because it talks about promises, but I wonder if that makes it too vague to be effective.

I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before, and it was about clarity rather than detail. Maybe B is too specific?

I think it might be A, since a good vision statement should be something we can actually measure, right?

I remember discussing that a vision statement should be clear and inspiring, but I'm not sure which option fits that best.

I've got this! A vision statement needs to be clear and achievable, not just a bunch of vague promises. I think A is the right answer here - it's the only one that mentions being verifiable, which is crucial.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know a vision statement should inspire people, but I'm not sure about the other details. I'll have to think it through carefully.

This question seems straightforward. I think the key is to focus on the characteristics of a good vision statement, like being aspirational but measurable.

Okay, let's see. A vision statement shouldn't just be a list of activities, that's more of an action plan. And it shouldn't make promises that are hard to measure. I'm leaning towards A or B as the best answer.

Okay, I've got this. Based on my understanding, "deter" would be the control that should happen first when setting objectives for physical security. The goal is to discourage potential threats before they even attempt to breach the environment.
