Creating loyalty is not complicated it just requires everyone on board with the vision.

I think they a word there.

“Everyone on board” is slang for everyone agreeing to a way of thinking/doing. The sentence reads correct imo.

Eh, it should probably be "getting everyone on board," "everyone to get on board," or "everyone on board agreeing..." It's missing a verb. I understand it as-is, I just think it's ungrammatical.

It’s an elision which is common in many English dialects and totally out of place in others. A more common form of this that always feels incomplete to me is “needs washed,” but in both cases, “to be” is elided (omitted).

I've heard "needs washed" and also consider it ungrammatical, but I also understand it. So I might say something like "everyone on board" or "needs washed" in conversation, but I wouldn't do it in writing, especially more formal writing like this where someone is running a business and soliciting work.

A former boss used to make at least one person at every meeting recite the company's mission and vision statements--yes, two different statements, and if you missed even one word, no matter how inconsequential, he'd get on your ass about it in front of everyone. No surprise that he constantly listened to and quoted management podcasts and audio books, rarely questioning any of them.

I bet the turnover rate at that place was insanely high.

The company I work for asks us to do shit like this in our meetings. Like "what does mean to you"? I always want to be like "well I like the part where I get a check every couple weeks...."

I read The Dilbert Principle last month (only about thirty years behind the curve, I know) and it slates purpose mission vision statements even then.

In retrospect, it looks like Adams' edgy jokes and views didn't age well.

Just do you know, that guy lives in a mansion shaped like Dilbert's head which has a pool also shaped like Dilbert's head.

I suppose if the character made you a fortune, might as well lean in to it!

Remember when visions were for introspection and self awareness? And not the cool aid of business propaganda?
