Objecting to someone calling Jack Dorsey a visionary because you believe its hyperbole and then calling him a "competent product manager" seems just as, if not more disingenuous.
- andybak 11y agoOther than what I've read here I don't really know who Jack Dorsey is. My point was based on the grandparent's own words: "You don't have to be Elon Musk to be a 'product visionary'. It's simply someone who's good at envisioning new products" which sounds to me like an abasement of the English language. This reminds me of another battle I have apparently lost. Companies that have a "vision". No you probably don't. You might have a plan, a goal or an ethos but with the exception of a small handful of companies- if you claim your's has a 'vision' then you're deluded or incurably pretentious. I could just about live with 'mission' as at least that doesn't sound like you're claiming divine providence. (If it's not immediately obvious that I'm British, bear our famed dislike of overstatement in mind. However plenty of UK companies seem to spout this nonsense: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site%3A.co.uk+"our+vision" https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site%3A.co.uk+"our+vision" )
