Visionary - The Glue
This person is the most critical to the mission. They are the ones that craft the vision, and instill a sense of purpose and common direction among the team. The bind the experts together and enable them to perform. Their pattern recognition, ability to see the future and create it, sets them apart. They also do the fundraising and making available the resources to the poeple they lead to help them perfrom at their best.
AccordMaster
Diplomacy is a key-trait to have here. This is a comprehensive role that entails communications, public relations, positioning, dealmaking, partnerships and conflict resolution. They are the concensus builder and the one whose responsibilty it is to constantly ensure that this team is on the same page. An excelling Accordmaster, will never split the difference and is a master negotiator. Making an error in picking this person, leads to instant destruction of capital, resources, misalligment and working for the vested interests on an individual, instead of the collective.
Builder
This person is the hacker that puts things together and builds at breakneck speed. They ship and are ahead of the curve. They are innovators who execute and love to build. The process brings them joy and they find bliss inthe journey from identification -> Ideation -> Developing and moving on. They just need to get momentum once on something and before you know it, you can hold it/see it/feel it. They're often disorganised, messy and all over the place and only they can navigate their space.
Fixer
Evey Builder needs a Fixer. This is a systems and processes person. They find joy in organising, labelling and structuring. Bringing array and comprehensibility. When a teams moves fast, things break often and if the builder is asked to fix what's broken - the Momentum's lost. Innovation stalled for fire fighting and they proabbly aren't performing efficiently as they aren't cut out to re-build. Enter the Fixer, that takes the broken pieces and with the application of Kintsugi - repairs with love, care and condor.
Artist
Modern products and services require aesthetics to be built in foundationally, instead of being applied retrospectively. This person ensures everything to do with modern companies is beautiful and consistent. Every touchpoint feels like a part of a whole.
