Trusting Your People

Trust, trust and more trust… The concept needed to pave your path to success. The success within your company or business is unattainable until the visionary and the integrator are in complete tune with each other. Visionaries have a prominent talent and desire for doing everything themselves while integrators find fulfillment and satisfaction in executing the plan, managing others and producing output; the visionary has to take it to one level and the integrator has to be able to take it to the next level. A visionary builds their company from nothing and has to trust another person, the integrator, to execute their vision and put the wheels into motion. Trust is a big thing! What’s a relationship without trust? Absolutely nothing. Trust and comfort is what needs to be established within an interpersonal relationship so together, as a team, the common goal can successfully be achieved.

A visionary is the person with the vision, the person that builds up their company from nothing, the person who is constantly creating new opportunities and relationships to drive the business forward. The visionary indeed encompasses some wonderful attributes but what they lack in is managing people and being able to work with noise and mess. The aspects the visionary lacks in are the aspects the integrator excels in. Visionaries need to be in momentum in the direction and speed they want while the integrator protects the visionaries valuable time. Simply put, the visionary is capable of seeing the plan and seeing what they need to achieve, the integrator is the person to execute this plan; they put the wheels into motion. Encompassing the traits of an integrator is the toughest job in American business, it’s for people who have a passion for plans and executing on those plans. Integrators put systems and processes in place. 

Every visionary needs an integrator and every integrator needs a visionary. These two powerful personalities have the ability to create an extremely successful dynamic that will lead them on a path of success. Of course that path includes bumps, failures, and inconveniences, but at the end is success. The success is unattainable until the visionary and integrator are able to achieve a common goal together. Being on the same page for this powerful dynamic is what produces freedom for the visionary to operate in her or his unique ability. 

For my visionaries out there, take your integrator on a trip. For my integrators out there, take your visionary on a trip. Go somewhere enjoyable, enjoy each others company, establish trust and common ground. There is no better way to get on the same page by being forced to be in each others company. It takes trust and confidence to take the first step before you see results. Every visionary needs an integrator and every integrator needs a visionary... Create freedom for you and your team, create trust.
