The importance of having a clear vision

My leadership professor talked about leadership as a sum of 4 components. Environment, Envision, Energize, and Execution. This is what differentiates successful leaders from managers and followers. This section covers envisioning.

The best founders act like physicists, developing hypotheses and testing them in practical ways. Having a founder that changes their mind on what their product is 10 times before launching a single thing means that you will be building, destroying, and rebuilding things without a definitive pupose. On top of that, you might end up adding a bunch of random features that no one even cares about which, technically, isn't horrible if one of those things turns out to be a huge winner. Regardless, the founder has to have the core vision planned out which will be the foundation for the product.
