For years, we had learned that a good vision is a BHAG (a Big Hairy Audacious Goal) and that it should be a short, memorable slogan. In reality, before you start marketing, you need clarity on whom you’re targeting, what your positioning is, i.e. what their pain is, what current solutions exist, and what you’re doing that’s world-changing.

Big Hairy Audacious Goals (or BHAGs, as they're known to the inner goal-setting crowd). The Pinto resulted in 53 deaths and many more injuries because workers omitted safety checks in pursuit of Lee Iacocca's BHAG goal of a car that would be "under 2000 pounds and under $2,000" by 1970. And not just any goals, but stretch goals.

It should be positive. I’d much rather rely on positive psychology. The best visions are BHAGs – big, hairy, audacious goals. If you don’t achieve it, you’ve most likely made positive steps forward, learned a lot, and had a blast trying. A vision should focus more on how the future will be better, and why.

I know how often leaders say they want to tackle BHAGs — “big hairy audacious goals.” The best resolutions will go nowhere without the confidence to stick with them. Goals that are too big or too distant.
