Prudence, leading on without a vision? (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

common sense

'prudence' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'leading on without a vision?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'on' is present in the answer.
'vision?' could be 'sense' (vision is a kind of sense) and 'sense' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

(Other definitions for common sense that I've seen before include "realistic" , "Gumption" , "Good judgment" , "Reasonable" , "Nous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
