"Visualization and belief in a pattern of reality activates the creative power of realization."
- A. L. Lina
"Vision is not enough, it must be combined with venture, it's not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs."
- Vaclav Havel
"A vision is values made visible."
- Chris Newham
"It is critical vision alone which can mitigate the unimpeded operation of the automatic."
- Marshall McLuhan
"Visualization is daydreaming with a purpose."
- Bo Bennett
Visualization is the creation of a mental image. As we lead, improvising to innovate, structuring implementation and realizing our innovation and implementation, we begin this in our imagination. Our vision guides our actions and, with communication, those of our followers.
If we are content to passively follow (see opposite corner) we don't need a visualization, either our own or someone else's. We just go ahead respecting, responding and conforming. Alternatively, if we spend our time in visualization and not following the guidance this provides, we have no leadership and our visualization is a fantasy.
When we are fully exercising our leadership, our visualization provides a context for organization, collaboration and contribution.
