Preface:
Visionaries – The “Saviors” of our Society

Where would we be without visionaries? What would our world look like? We owe a great debt of gratitude to the visionary men and women of our past. They have shaped our history. They have transformed our world.

Erik Calonius noted in his book Ten Steps Ahead , “Visionaries are not only the stuff of legend. When we string them sequentially, one visionary following another we have described the arc of history.” All significant advancements in any sector of our society can be traced back to a visionary with the passion and commitment to bring their vision to life.

This book is designed to create, guide and celebrate visionaries—the saviors of our society.
