The source argues that visionary leadership is a deceptive trap because it replaces genuine presence with a "split mind" focused on future simulations. By prioritizing aspiration—defined as intelligence aimed at what is missing—leaders often become performative and distorted, ignoring the present reality in favor of a polished, imagined goal. In contrast, the text advocates for orientation, which is an intelligence grounded in accurate perception of reality as it currently exists. This state of being creates stability and mass, allowing a leader to act out of necessity rather than a need for validation or audience applause. Ultimately, the source suggests that true authority emerges not from charismatic speeches about the future, but from a commitment to the present moment and the ability to "not wobble" during a crisis.
