What is Visionary Leadership?

Visionary leadership is transformative. We could argue that it is one aspect of transformational leadership. But I want to consider it as a specific style, because we find many leaders who seem aim for this style as their default.

RECOMMENDED READING
There are a vast number of Leadership books - perhaps more than on any other management-related topic. And there is also a huge range represented in different lists of the best. This no-doubt reflects the different contexts for leadership.

So, any recommended reading list of leadership books must be particularly subjective. I have chosen those that made me think, and which are of particular value to managerial leaders: not sportspeople, military leaders, or CEOs. In no particular order:
