Are You a Global Visionary?

There's nothing quite like wading through a pile of backed-up email after a long day of travelling. I get my fair share of vapid press releases, but the one I got at 1:36pm this afternoon is in a class of its own. I'll treat you just to the first two lines:

In this time of economic insecurity and growing awareness of climate change, it's not enough for leaders to be just visionaries or even globalists. Instead, today's leaders must be global visionaries.

I've always wondered whom this kind of thing is meant to appeal to. "Just visionaries," I suppose, who need an upgrade now that they have a "growing awareness of climate change".
