The destination is never “fuzzy” to a great leader
A great leader is one who has a clear vision that helps in showing followers the proper destination.
A weak leader or a micro manager is one who is not sure of the destination himself.As a result of this the followers never have a clear sense of vision.
The human brain is oriented in a manner that it feels relaxed when provided a clear sense of direction.The moment the direction is crystal clear the human brain is able to devise innovative means to reach the destination irrespective of obstacles on the way.
Thus a clear sense of direction keeps the followers engaged towards the vision.

Reason our “WHY” should be for service to others
The concept of WHY was introduced by Simon Sinek in his iconic book titled “Start With Why”.
A WHY is another name for finding a deep filled purpose in our lives.This has to be in sync with our own personality traits as well.
When we run after short term benefits , hit a goal , get a promotion we do find moments of happiness which is short lived.This is like a “dopamine hit” which is bound to die after some time.
Hence our sense of purpose has to be long term.When we delve deep and find our purpose or WHY , more often it is part of a futuristic vision which is bigger than ourselves.
When we work towards attainment of the WHY , we sense the flow of “oxytocin” or the fulfillment chemical that enriches us.
