Vision is the petri dish for passion and motivation. Direction gives people a purpose which refines their focus to be able to concentrate on the goal. Focus itself creates boundaries alleviating leadership from the worry of scattered directionless employees.

There are real viable solutions for racial, ethnic, tribal, and religious divisions. For it to materialize, race baiting, hatred, personal gain, and vengeance must stop. Leadership can lay these things down and come to a table and truly begin sound, honest, and meaningful discussion, that will produce healing and peace. It doesn't end with a conversation, we must leave that table and implement it into action.
Once we learn objectively from our past, the quality of our decisions in the present improve, and our future becomes brighter.
We must understand it is never a one man show. We don’t make it to the top alone nor do we fail alone. People that surround us provide support by adding to or taking away and thus deteriorating our effectiveness.

Proper vetting is worth the time and investment that will reward us with success, less regret, and fewer painful experiences.
Being a visionary doesn't mean you live in the future ignoring the present. It's what brings purpose and motivation to the present.
