Abstract
In the rapidly changing times, we face several challenges. An idea can really change one’s life, provided the implementation
of strategy with innovation and vision is in the right place. Standing out from the pack depends on how well a leader communicates, leads
and motivates the people around him. These life skills are critical success factors for developing strong business relationships and career
advancement. The changing world of work has brought about the birth of a market that instantly recognizes the importance and nurtures
the top performers to become visionary leaders. A visionary leader is effective in manifesting his or her vision because s/he creates specific,
achievable goals, initiates actions and enlists the participation of all the employees. ‘Visionary Leaders’ require core values, clear vision,
empowering relationships, and innovative action. Today, as we enter the new millennium, thousands of new visionary leaders are emerging in
all fields of human endeavor around the world, leading a revolution energized by power of the soul. The article is a strategic primer on why
and how businesses succeed and sustain even in turbulent times through various traits of effective visionary leaders.
