Mumbai: No business can last long without a vision; even if it does, it will be susceptible to any disruptions and fluctuations that would normally occur in its business cycle. It needs a leader who is able to translate, create that vision or make it clearer and make it a reality. The essence of leadership is to have a vision from the start. Moreover, it is not possible to blow the trumpet in an uncertain way, so there should be clear regulations for them to manage and lead everyone. A team led by a visionary leader with a clear direction knows what it can achieve and how far it can go.
