Weaving for the future: Using rulers and roses

When I was invited to give this keynote address, I was asked to focus on the theme of the conference - Weaving tapestries for the future - and more specifically on the concepts of unity, creativity, and vision. I have been reading a lot of leadership literature lately where vision is looked upon as a necessary precondition for success. It is also a precondition for unity and creativity. And so, I will focus on the concept of vision.
