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 reminds me of that one time my boss promised us a 'fun company retreat' that turned out to be a mandatory team-building exercise in the middle of nowhere. Hard pass.

B is way too detailed. A vision statement should be high-level and aspirational, not a full organizational chart.
