If you dig into Stephen Shapiro's book (Goal Free Living) you'll find him grappling with where goal setting fits into the "goal less equation". His blog also comments on goal setting from time to time.
Another poster mentioned Bill Gates - that guy who wrote "The Road Ahead" ;-)
I doubt if he had set goals to take windows (and Microsoft) from the early 3.x stuff I saw around 1989 to where it is now...but I bet he had a vision of moving along this winding path as it unfolded and "scenery" came into view. Actually, he probably sprinted along those stretches!!
