A founder's vision begins the moment they notice a gap between what is and what should be. Their ambition starts when they resolve to do something about it. Since few great challenges are solved by one person, they'll need to share that vision with others, inspiring them to move and aligning them in purpose. Leaders do more than point the way up the mountain, or walk in front, however. Making the shift from visionary to someone who executes is often challenging. We'll discuss the transformations needed to turn an evangelist who promises the future into an operator who delivers it.
