There are three main components of a vision first, a vision lays out an intention and expectation of the preferred future for the family. Second, it articulate, and or refers to the underlying values of the family. Third, it inspires the stakeholders of the organization, family members in the case of the family and employees and executives in the case of the family office, to be their best to achieve this vision. Like an anchor throne, far into the future, visions are intended to create energy, momentum, and excitement for the road ahead while firmly pulling its constituents towards a positive future.

In the book
Vision, as Myles Munroe put it, is simply the capacity to see beyond what your eyes can presently see — and a sturdy vision of a life worth living is precisely what will sustain you in the lonely moments down on the pavement, when the flying gets hard. Three things make up a real vision: an honest intention, a clear picture of where you mean to arrive, and the expectation that pulls you toward it. So get specific about what you actually want from this life rather than drifting on someone else's current, and keep your eye fixed on ends and not merely on the busy means — think hard, and often, about what a well-lived life is finally for. — The Flight Plan (Purpose/Wisdom/Risk)
