Life is much easier for everyone when you have people around you who genuinely get it, want it, and have the capacity to do it. - Gino Wickman

You just need to capture the basic steps in the process, because the real problem is that people are skipping steps, and not always on purpose.

Patrick Lencioni says it best: “Your meetings should be passionate, intense, exhausting, and never boring.

The visionary and the integrator couldn’t be more different. In a small to mid-size company, the visionary is typically the owner, co-owner, or founder. In a partnership, most of the time, one partner is the visionary and the other is the integrator. It’s a dynamic that has elevated them to where they are. The visionary typically has 10 new ideas a week. Nine of them might not be so great, but one usually is, and it’s that one idea each week that keeps the organization growing. For this reason, visionaries are invaluable. They’re typically very creative. They’re great solvers of big ugly problems (not the little practical ones), and fantastic with important clients, vendors, suppliers, and banking relationships. The culture of the organization is very important to them, because they usually operate more on emotion and therefore have a better barometer of how people are feeling. If you’re one, know thyself and be free.
