What makes great leaders effective?
Great leaders focus on a few fundamentals. Vision is always one of them. Great leaders give real thought to values, ideas and activities they are most passionate about --- and those are the things they pursue.

Vision
A clear vision provides direction and establishes purpose.
A vision is not always agreed upon by the followers. It does not have to be. The vision belongs to the leader.

“Leadership requires a vision of a place that is better than where we are and an ability to communicate that vision clearly so people want to embrace it.”
