Review of article "What Leading With Vision Really Means"

http://www.fastcompany.com/3003293/what-leading-vision-really-means

I was looking for a way to summarize what I had learned from my present course in my doctoral program (EDLD 760) at CSUSM when a professor sent me this article that does an excellent job of conveying some of my new-found ideas and practices.  This article does an excellent job of summarizing what I learned because it doesn't give just an answer, but also provides a path to continue my learning.
The answer it does give (I was looking for a way to describe how I feel now that I have "drank the Kool-Aide" of this course):

"A leader must not only be able to articulate his vision:  he must also live it."

This quote summarizes how I have changed my way of thinking.  This blog you are reading is a perfect example of my wanting to share my experience with an article instead of just reading it and trying to remember how to incorporate what it has to say into my leadership.  I opened up my blog and designed a review in a way that I could both remember later and share with people who could also benefit from the sharing of knowledge.  I now go to my Tweetdeck every morning along with my different email accounts to see what is out there, and I am learning how to communicate through these on-line methods (as I review how much better this post is to my first as far as being able to share with the world).  I am becoming a resident instead of a visitor (See previous post for this reference) and believe it is important to continue these practices even after this class is over.  I have conquered my fears (for the most part) about security and 'putting myself out there' in the cyberworld.

The path this article provides for learning includes the book referenced at the end, which I will purchase (Leading So People Will Follow).  It also provides clarity that the path I am going down with attempting to implement technology is the correct one.  A question that will help me become more of a farsighted leader is:

"What is something that is not accessible to many due to materialistic structures, but could be if all obstacles were accounted for?"

As I look to answer that question, and more importantly I see how iPad Implementation can answer that question, I will have a sense of security that I am not getting caught up with a passing fad.  I realize that technology is moving at an exponential rate and it is more and more difficult for schools to keep pace and find something that will be around for a generation.  Like the article that mentions cars, computers, and telephones that were once thought of as novelty items, is a table the next things that everybody will have and will be something people can't live without?  It is just a bigger smart phone or smaller tablet (the iPad mini?)?  With the limited funding of schools, and the continual pace of students coming into middle school each and every year, we don't have time to be wrong.
