I can't get over how similar this "visionary leadership" pablum is to the way business leaders of the 1920s (and their journalistic hype men and women) talked about themselves and their business principles nytimes.com/2018/05/24/us/…
For example, this isn't new at all. Go read business leaders of the 1920s talk about how they based their business leadership on the Golden Rule. The point was to serve society (or rather convince ppl you were serving society) so that ppl wouldn't clamor for structural change. 
In the 1920s, too, there was an obsession with identifying The Thing that made leaders successful, which often degenerated into something so vague as to be meaningless. Very much like this:
And then, of course, there's the connection between business success & sports. Back in the 1920s it came from coaches like Knute Rockne, Amos Alonzo Stagg, and Robert Zuppke. Now we have Coach K, whose sayings are so important they require interpretation by leadership experts.
Here you go, I'll even cite sources. From a 1930 American Magazine article on Illinois football coach Robert Zuppke, in which he expounds on principles for business success. He basically hits the same things as the @nytimes piece.
One diff between today’s “progressive” business/leadership culture and that of the 1920s is that today there is much less direct reference to Christianity. In the 1920s it was often linked with a sort of popularized liberal Protestantism.
