In the book Drive, and also in other resources about leadership and motivation, is reported that it is important to create a vision in order to motivate and lead a group of people but also themeselves.

It is however important to balance vision and execution because as a Japanese proverb tells:

Vision without execution is a daydream. Execution without vision is a nightmare.

The vision should give us the direction and the motivation necessary to overcome the resistance that block our action at the beginning of a difficult endeavour.

Then it is important to execute the actions necessary to make the vision reality.

Do not spend too much time creating a vision and detailing it. When the vision is sufficient to give direction, pass to the execution phase.
