This is a bit off topic for this blog so I’ll keep it short and sweet.

If you examine the individuals, organizations, and movements that have achieved phenomenal success, you will note that success is realized by the work of hundreds or thousands of people. Yet the core of every phenomenal success is a Vision that can be traced back to one or two individuals. Think of Bill Gates and Microsoft, Steve Jobs and Apple, or Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Google. If you go back further through history, the trend continues.

So why do these organizations flourish while others crumble? The first reason is Vision.
