"Vision is not just about seeing things as they are but imagining how they could be. In leadership, this vision translates into the power to shape the future and inspire others."

The power of vision thus lies in the choices we make and our commitment to those choices.
In leadership, the path you choose is as significant as the destination. Choose wisely, and let your vision guide you to new heights.
