Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

Warren Bennis

The very first task of leadership is to set the vision for the organization. If you don't set the vision, you're not the leader.

Rick Warren

Create a compelling vision, one that takes people to a new place, and then translate that vision into a reality.

Manage the dream: Create a compelling vision, one that takes people to a new place, and then translate that vision into a reality.

Certainly a leader needs a clear vision of the organization and where it is going, but a vision is of little value unless it is shared in a way so as to generate enthusiasm and commitment. Leadership and communication are inseparable.

Claude Taylor

The job of the writer and the filmmaker is not to impose his vision on the reality, but to be inspired by the reality and create a vision out of that.

The first step toward creating an improved future is developing the ability to envision it. VISION will ignite the fire of passion that fuels our commitment to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to achieve excellence. Only VISION allows us to transform dreams of greatness into the reality of achievement through human action. VISION has no boundaries and knows no limits. Our VISION is what we become in life.

Tony Dungy

To me, a leader is a visionary that energizes others. This definition of leadership has two key dimensions: a) creating the vision of the future, and b) inspiring others to make the vision a reality.

Vince Lombardi

You have sole ownership of your vision. And the Universe will give you what you want within your vision. What happens with most people is that they muddy their vision with “reality”. Their vision becomes full of not only what they want but what everybody else thinks about what they want, too. Your work is to clarify and purify your vision so that the vibration that you are offering can then be answered.

Esther Hicks

People who are role models for the principles and values of the organization, who buy in and understand the vision of what the organization is trying to accomplish, and have the personality to inspire other people to the vision. You know, that’s what team chemistry and leadership is all about.

Nick Saban

All I know is that the first step is to create a vision, because when you see the vision – the beautiful vision – that creates the want power.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

With vision, every person, organization and country can flourish. The Bible says, 'Without vision we perish.’

Mark Victor Hansen

Leadership can be thought of as a capacity to define oneself to others in a way that clarifies and expands a vision of the future.

Edwin H Friedman

The connectedness of things is what the educator contemplates to the limit of his capacity. No human capacity is great enough to permit a vision of the world as simple, but if the educator does not aim at the vision no one else will, and the consequences are dire when no one does.

Mark Van Doren

Most pastors have a hard time grasping a vision. But vision is the indispensable quality of a leader.

John C. Maxwell

A leader will find it difficult to articulate a coherent vision unless it expresses his core values, his basic identity...one must first embark on the formidable journey of self-discovery in order to create a vision with authentic soul.
