"Being forward-looking is what differentiates leaders from other credible people. While credibility is the foundation, the capacity to paint an uplifting and ennobling picture of the future is that special something that truly sets leaders apart. Leaders must be able to gaze across the horizon of time and imagine that greater things are ahead. They must foresee something out there, vague as it might appear from the distance, that others do not. They must imagine that extraordinary feats are possible or that the ordinary can be transformed into something noble.

The consensus among Nanus, Drucker, Collins and Porras, and Hamel is that little can happen without vision. All enterprises or projects, big and small, begin in the mind's eye. They begin with imagination and with the belief that what is merely an image can one day be made real."
