"A president's role is to make that clear, ensure it happens, and provide space, ideas, encouragement and acknowledgment of accomplishments. Vision is important, but one that colleagues have not contributed to or are not widely shared will not serve the purpose. I have also learned delegation is also important to success and ..."

Does "one" refer to "vision"? About "are not widely shared", what are not widely shared?

It is from a passage for the drill of reading comprehension and in no ways do I know the author. May I ask why I should state those?
