We often deceive ourselves by assuming that a word fitly spoken, an opinion boldly proffered, an argument well-written or a critique loosely given is tantamount to leadership--particularly with respect to solving the actual problems of life. And this is the idea that Booker T. Washington explained in his observations of men and women who offer words without any accompanying works. Thomas Edison suggested that A vision without execution is a hallucination. To be clear, vision-the single greatest 6-letter word- requires words for articulating, reasoning, inspiring and motivating. Yet, this is only one half of the deal in leadership. The other half is transforming those words into works. Such works, unlike words, are never philosophical or theoretical abstraction[s]. These works are solution[s] for many of the actual problems that visionary words propose to solve. Works are the evidentiary and documentable deeds done that substantiate the words of visionary leadership.
