Recently a friend asked me if I am more of a "Visionary" or "Integrator", to borrow from the EOS language. My candid response was, "I've never really been sure. Sometimes I love one and loathe the other and vice versa." Now, throw the big caveat in there that this EOS language is meant for leaders of companies of a certain size, which I DO NOT meet the criteria. So, that may be more important in explaining my response than anything else I share here. I thought about the question via The Six Types of Working Genius and how maybe the answer is in what type of geniuses you have. To spare you a lengthy breakdown, basically my profile works from the inside out (Geniuses are D, G. Competencies are E, I. Frustrations are W, T.) Meaning, I like the middle portion of work and get frustrated by the bookends of work. Personally, I'd be willing to believe that visionaries and integrators could have any type of genius spread. However, if I had to guess trends, you'd probably see more visionaries live in the first 4 geniuses (W to G) and integrators in the latter 4 geniuses (D to T). I'd actually love to see a any potential data around this, maybe a collaboration between EOS Worldwide and The Six Types of Working Genius?? To cap the insights, relooking at my genius spread seemed to validate my oscillating emotions towards the visionary or integrator question. Realistically, in the long-term I see myself leaning towards more visionary, but I am thankful for this season where I get to swing back and forth between the two! Would love to hear your thoughts around whether you see yourself as a visionary or integrator and/or a wrestling you've ever had with the terms!
Holli Frazell Someone posed a good question. ??
I think deep down you are one or the other. Visionary/Integrator. I’m not familiar with the working geniuses, but I would associate it with your Kolbe score. What sucks energy out of you. You can often work in other areas short term but it takes all your energy and burns you out faster. I’m a visionary. But at the size of my business I have to to play in both worlds, but I hate being an integrator, I procrastinate that work and I out it off.
Sounds like a I/V loop! Addison Newell

1 个月I wondered this about you myself yesterday as we discussed your many ventures and I saw crossovers to each! It depends I think on partners / team -- For example with Roots Realty Co. I'm now in more a visionary seat, but with many other projects such as ones with Scott, I tend to have to be the integrator, but it doesn't drain me too much in the right context.
