Vision (Hover)
Vision is a trait that, in my opinion, very few people have. Yes, employers love to hear that one has vision, but true vision allows one to see beyond what is already out there, and come up with ideas that help improve a process or creates new processes. I do not condone someone simply saying they have vision when in reality they don't. On the other hand, how would one measure vision, ie if a candidate says they have vision, how do you measure that?
Vision is essential for any task. Of course at work the talk about "vision" makes someone looks like they know what they are doing although maybe they have no clue. But when there is true vision within a group of people, then success is achieve.
Vision is one of the those traits everyone wishes they had, but few do. If you want to see someone with true vision, look to where they have been and what they have done. A true visionary does not claim to have a future vision, he acts on it.
