    Mission or Vision??
    Kiran Mazumdar Shaw personally did not believe in vision

    She believed more in missions rather than vision.

    Her mission was to build a biotech company that would be respected globally. And most importantly, she wanted to change perception that India is not capable of a research-based business.

    To her, a leader should have more missions than vision.

    According to her, all leaders should be passionate about their sense of purpose.

    Quotes about Vision and Mission..


    All leaders need not be visionaries and all visionaries need not be leaders.

    There can be a leader without vision but there cant be a leader without mission.

    I believe that more than being a visionary, a leader must inspire people, help them share their ideas and aspirations.

    The vision concept is hyped and overstretched.
