This is an excellent description of how a "vision" emerges from the complex interactions among people on a shared quest for meaning. Leading as emergent sensemaking. Emergence seems to be the stumbling block for mainstream Anglo-American, 'Cartesian' management. Instead of thinking about actions to create enabling conditions it wants 'blueprints' and 'roadmaps' that specify the steps to be taken in advance. In the search for certainty verbs become nouns and the language of action is replaced by the language of achievement.
