We don’t start any journey without an end in mind. Without the destination in mind the journey is somewhat meaningless
The destiny, the vision, the big dream, creates meaning, a sense of motivation, momentum; motivation to actually arrive, and to reach the goal.
Keeping the dream secret, keeping to oneself, keeping it close does not help the team.  The best one can do is to share the dream, communicate it so that future, the destination becomes a compelling, exciting place to aspire to.  
It is true that the moment we imagine the goal we have already taken the first step towards it.

Real leaders take this dream and start to verbalise it, even in the imperfect form to those who look to them for leadership. They do this consciously and use it as an invitation to those who listen to join the dream, to add to it, to provide new energy and ideas to the process and to the journey. Once the dream is crystallized, once it is shared it begins to take on a form, a life and energy of its own.
The job of the leader, then, is to feed the dream and to turn this inspiration into a compelling and exciting aspiration for all.
