Great leaders hold tightly to purpose, but lightly to plans.” — Bryan Smeltzer, The Visionary Leader Today’s episode—“The Flexible Future | How Adaptive Vision Drives Innovation”—dives into one of the most misunderstood yet powerful traits of visionary leadership: the ability to hold a clear vision while remaining flexible in how to reach it.

Technology disrupts. Yet great leaders stay anchored to their purpose while adapting their strategies to meet the future on its terms. In this episode, we’ll uncover how adaptive vision isn't a weakness—it’s a strength that empowers innovation, speeds up decision-making, and enables long-term relevance. Discover how adaptive vision fuels innovation, leadership, and growth in business. Dive in, get inspired, and share your thoughts with the Visionary Chronicles community!
