The reason this is such a great question is that I’ve witnessed far too many executives confuse vision and mission in terms of both definition and application. My own definition of vision is: Vision is knowing who you are (purpose), where you're going (picture of the future) and what will guide your journey (values).

It definitely didn’t in my case. What lacked was a clear focus on leadership within a theological context. I think we mistakenly believed that studying Jesus some how translated into competency in other areas. However, since my formal education, I have come to know enough about leadership to actually see Jesus as a masterful leader.

Social and societal stigmas are definitely in play when it comes to love and leadership. The natural inclination of most is to react compassionately when and/or where needed – that is until they stop to think about the ramifications of doing so.
