Strong visions <i>can</i> be arrived at collectively -- but it requires trust, not voting. If I have 10 people, and 7 vote A and 3 vote B, then A <i>should</i> be the collective &quot;strong vision&quot;. The thing is, those three people that voted for B <i>still</i> think that B was the best approach, because nothing has worked to change their mind post-vote. It&#x27;s exactly equivalent to your boss coming and telling you to take out the trash, when you hate taking out the trash. You do it anyway, but you definitely don&#x27;t put your full effort into it, and you might even implement small sabotages. If the trash bag is leaking, maybe you just let it leak as you take it out, instead of rewrapping it to prevent the leak. So now you have an ideological split that will manifest itself throughout implementation of the vision.<p>The way to fix this is to have honest, open discussion to collectively arrive at a vision. That way, there is no cognitive dissonance between the vision and the team members. The problem is, this is <i>hard</i> and requires a lot of trust. I&#x27;d recommend reading <i>The Five Dysfunctions of a Team</i> [0] if you really want to dig into this philosophy.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;The_Five_Dysfunctions_of_a_Team" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;The_Five_Dysfunctions_of_a_Tea...</a>
