Where's the Vision?

I have written in the past about how "vision" often alludes leaders. "I'm not visionary" is something I often hear in my leadership development programs. As a result, leaders often fail to create and communicate a vision and instead develop project plans and product road maps. These are important tools, but they are management tools. They are tools for controlling what is happening today. I don't know anyone who was ever inspired by a project plan or a product road map.
