This essay by Ed Morrison is a MUST READ for EVERY economic and community development or nonprofit leader. Written as an homage to his brother Hunter, the well-written essay cautions: Don't mistake your first solution for the vision—it's just one approach, and it can be taken away by forces outside your control. Hold the direction instead, so that when an approach falls through, you can return to what you're really after and discover another way to get there.
