Roddenberry was that centralizing vision between TOS and the first season of TNG. From what I've read, he's the one responsible for TNG's first season being so fucking weird with characters that seem alien even though they're human.
I mean, yeah the flip side is if you’re centralizing vision is some coked up 70s weirdo with vague utopian ideas you get... 1st season of TNG.
I think maybe everyone just getting together and writing a “Bible” and maybe a vague outline of how they wanted the show progress would have been enough.

It kinda cuts both ways.
