Leadership begins when a vision emerges. Proverbs 29:18 says “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” The true meaning of these words is “Without a vision, the people cast off restraint.” Lack of vision among leaders results in lethargy, confusion, disorder, inefficiency and – at worst – anarchy. This applies in business as well as politics.
