Why do we have so few visionary thinkers? e.g. the late Sir Bob Owens, even Bob Clarkson - maybe the answer is in the name Bob!
It has taken another Bob, Bob Harvey (former mayor or Waitakere) who was reported at the recent Regional Forum, to have given an inspirational speech on strategy. Bob Harvey, strongly advocated for a rail link between Auckland and Tauranga as a game changer and I agree. So current leaders, get off the fence, end your deafening silence, and let's set the vision!

Visionary v Thinking

They are certinaly not the same thing, to visualise something has little to do with meaningful throught, well thought out plans and so on. End game here is that much is seen, looked at, considered but relly it is all over rated. Any visionary ideas are usually well organised around self gain first and foremost.

Looks to me that one important comparison has been left out Bob Jones, radical, know it all and commentator on all and anything. That common factor should also be considered here as well.
