Managerial Leadership: Leading with a Vision	1.50	An organization does not generate itself—it is founded by one or more people who take the initiative to put an idea into action.

If a team has the ability and resources to complete a task, leadership can provide the motivation and inspiration the team needs to complete the task. In this course you will learn to: Identify a leader, define the vision of an organization and write a vision statement, and relate goals to the vision statement.
