A LEADER TAKES PEOPLE WHERE THEY WANT TO GO

A GREAT LEADER TAKES PEOPLE WHERE THEY DON’T NECESSARILY WANT TO GO, BUT OUGHT

LEADERS DON’T CREATE FOLLOWERS,THEY CREATE MORE LEADERS

A VISION WITH NO ACTION IS A DREAM 

AN ACTION WITH NO VISION IS A NIGHTMARE

A vision without the ability to execute

Is probably a hallucination
