The family vision provides an overarching, long-term framework for the family’s values, aspirations, and legacy, while the family mission focuses on actionable, short-to-mid-term goals and operational decisions that align with the vision. Together, they help family members stay unified in their objectives, ensure sustainable business practices, and guide decision-making for both personal and professional growth.
