Greg, agree 100%, but that's not how I understood
the question and the
results of the staff survey. It seemed the staff expected the vision from
the ED/Management.
I think you're misinterpreting.
The agree/disagree statement was:
"Senior leadership at Wikimedia have communicated a vision that
motivates me" (7% agree)

See also, this quote in glassdoor, quoted in the Signpost as well:
"The Executive Director unveils a new strategy every three months or
so."
So, it's not that people wanted the vision solely from the
ED/Management, it's that they wanted a not constantly changing one.
This is getting off topic, however.
The point is, a vision does not need to come from one person, which you
agree with. A good vision comes from many people working together
collaboratively. Then sticking with it to see it through. Consistency is
needed in an ED.
