Funny, it describes the opposite of me. When the high-level idea people start talking, I have already phased out. It seems somewhat useless to me, they spend so many hours talking about possibilities that shatter at the first contact with the real world. Without at least a bit of practical time to attempt things and fail, I am basically useless at design.
- colechristensen 5y agoPeople are good at different things, this is a feature, not a bug. Some people are more explorers, others executors. Probably are lots of other words to fit in there with slightly different meanings. There is some (too much) pressure for everybody to be great at everything and when they are different enough are labeled as having a disease. This is why people work together, to build on each other’s strengths.
- ascales 5y agoI fall on the idea person end of the spectrum more than the work-horse end, and when someone comes talking about big ideas without some baseline plan, hypothesis, or validation I zone out too. I get so frustrated with people who spend 40 hours working on shitty slide-decks trying to convince me something is a good idea instead of finding a way to show proof.
