Even well intentioned visions fail unless they have quality leadership. This means leadership throughout the organization- executive, management, production, drivers ...

“A leader is the vision with flesh.”
A leader is a living representation of the civilization vision. You must be the living example on a daily basis for your people to follow the vision.

Vision defines the purpose, leadership guides the civilization to fulfilling the purpose.
