Many successful leaders I know do not reveal their grand vision all at once
for fear of scaring or losing the troops. Rather, they sort out some
interim situations to be achieved and describe one or more of those in
order to see who buys in to what. However, all the successful ones
thoroughly believe their vision is practical and achievable. Others I have
known have not found it necessary to apply that test and have burned up a
lot of money and a lot of perfectly good human beings in the process.

It is not necessarily fear of the person with vision - though knowing
about the loss of support when the whole vision becomes known is most
definitely a good reason to reveal only part of it.
Handling a vision / or a new, strange, unbelievable idea have common
characteristics: It must run through what we call in Systematic Innovation
the Sensitizing Process. A skillful way to aquaint someone with an
unfamiliar situation which may be perceived as dangerous. I don't deal
with this process on the web page. Nevertheless, there is a related matter
refering to the The Vicious Circle of error generation on page /mind01.htm.
(Vision is a powerful guide line, or orientation mark.
A vision is hardly without error, and does not automatically exclude traps.)
Implementation hurdles and effects perceived as negative by affected people
induce the fear in them - resulting in NO! as an answer.
Removing unconstructive fear is the goal of the Sensitizing Process tool.
