ELC Thing 5 – How do I show vision as a leader?
Vision for social service workers means thinking about such questions as: How could things be better for the people who use our service? What can I do to make this happen? What part can I play in achieving my organisation’s vision? How do I ensure that those I work with share this vision, and are committed to achieving it? How do I encourage improvements in performance?
This badge is awarded to people who have:
- worked through Thing 5: How do I show vision as a leader?
- provided evidence of their learning through reflective writing.
This is part of the 23 Things ELC Leadership programme.

Write a statement (minimum 200 words) on what you have learned about the importance of vision for your own practice and leadership and how you have (or plan to) put this into action. You might find it helpful to reflect on a situation where you have contributed to realising a vision. This might be:
- Your own vision or a vision owned by your team, service or organisation
- A vision that you have helped to build and communicate to others
- Where you have worked with others to achieve the vision
- Where there were enabling factors that assisted you to achieve the vision or barriers that hindered your progress.
