Vision statements are neatly articulated on planning documents and beautifully plastered on walls, to try and create purpose and marketing leverage. They rarely move the needle to initiate real change.
Visionaries are those that look deep into the future, garner the resources and turn organizational dreams into reality. These brilliant leaders are what steers companies down the right path.
Too many visions, very few visionaries. Visions without visionary leadership is a lot of sizzle, with almost no steak.
