This book provides managers and leaders with a conceptual framework for visionary leadership to help them rediscover their vision in a more meaningful way with long-lasting results. It guides managers and leaders through four overlapping phases of the vision development and realization cycle at different levels and during various life stages. It teaches leaders to embrace employees as visionary partners in the journey to build a better organization.

The founder-CEO's journey to lead a high-growth company begins with the ability to see their role within the company-and the company itself-through new lenses. While it requires a CEO to evolve and grow with their company as their plans for the company expand, the visionary should not solely set their sights on new horizons. Their ability to see within their company should become more granular as well.

Featuring real-world case examples and chapter summaries with key takeaways, this book allows the business leader to walk themselves through the process of visioning with their team from start to finish. It also allows consultants and coaches to see the full lifecycle of a vision and support the visionary at any level of an organization.
