He would share the meaning and nuisance of the Vision Statement with the management team and seek input from them. This can be held in the form of a workshop that is outside the company or mere in a meeting room within the premise of the company He would explore how the vision statement was understood by the management team member and align the understand to the original intention of the vision statement.

For a Democratic Management Styles, the way how the Vision Statement implemented is to seek opinion from their management staff. Opinion from the team was considered and ended up changes to the vision statement. This scenario is happen because of the management style of the owner or CEO

A laissez-faire Management Styles leader adopted a free for all approach to the implementation the Vision Statement. He would announce his intention and expect employee takes his instruction. He do not do any follow up and not champion is assigned.
