This chapter traces the evolution of a leadership discourse of vision. It begins with an overview and critique of management literature related to visionary leadership. The analysis demonstrates that when vision emerged as a community college leadership discourse, it was a metaphor for either (a) knowledge of an actually existing reality, or (b) an imagined, possible future. As the discourse of vision evolved, it appropriated a conceptual geometry in which analysis, judgment, and knowledge were conflated with wishful thinking and charisma.

摘要

This chapter traces the evolution of a leadership discourse of vision. It begins with an overview and critique of management literature related to visionary leadership. The analysis demonstrates that when vision emerged as a community college leadership discourse, it was a metaphor for either (a) knowledge of an actually existing reality, or (b) an imagined, possible future. As the discourse of vision evolved, it appropriated a conceptual geometry in which analysis, judgment, and knowledge were conflated with wishful thinking and charisma.
