A true visionary is someone who thinks about the future in a way that is ahead of its time and seeing creative and imaginative ways of achieving that vision. Being a visionary is about planning for the future with imagination or wisdom, and often both.
They can help others to see their vision, buy into it, understand how to contribute to it, and inspire them to pursue it. Inspirational leaders can cultivate many followers, the entire organisation and often entire countries to their shared view of the future!
While a vision and passion are highly inspiring and visionaries are often good communicators and highly charismatic, able to articulate the image of their vision effectively, they must also be risk takers and very strategic to create a viable vision that propels them and their organisation forward.
