In this chapter, we explore the essence of leadership vision, emphasizing the difference between a mere outlook and a profound future vision. Leaders possess the ability to visualize the invisible, sense the intangible, and make the seemingly impossible a reality. They bring their vision to life by conceptualizing and then documenting it. This chapter delves into the proactive approach to shaping the future, emphasizing that choice, not chance, defines our reality. To develop a strong vision, leaders must align their values with decision-making, assess current circumstances, recalibrate plans based on reality, set clear goals, and take decisive action. The speech, "How I Plan to Make a Difference in My Life," underscores the importance of personal responsibility in defining and achieving one's life purpose.

Leaders Have a Vision There is a difference between a vision that you have for the future and a vision that is an outlook. Leaders are able to look towards the future and have an idea of what they see or want. When you have a vision you see the invisible, feel the intangible, and achieve the impossible.
Leaders Create it Twice Leaders are able to create this vision twice. Once in their head. Once on paper. So, what is in your head?
There are two ways to look at the future: Fatalism- The thought that everything will happen beyond our control. Proactive- Choice, not chance determines reality.
Developing our Vision First- Determine the values that will be used in decision making. Second- Get in touch with reality. What is really happening? Third- Re-think the plan and re-think reality. Fourth- Devise a plan, set your goals. Fifth- Get after it!
