Kelly Knight explains why visionaries and integrators need each other. Visionaries build strategy and relationships; integrators run operations and manage P&L. Only 5% of visionaries can also integrate, making that combination exceptionally rare.

The visionary integrator are complementary roles to one another. And the idea is that the visionary is able to be freed to be uniquely who they're meant to be. The unique ability being a big ideas, big relationship. Sometimes tinkering and honing in a workshop can be research and development, but essentially really the big ideas person that's able to set and chart the course and be the navigator for the organization. The integrator is meant to be that complementary piece that is really running the day to day business. Beating the drum consistently, keeping the trains running on time, responsible typically for the P and L, all the financial components. So the two together is very unique. They're only 5% of the of those that are visionaries are also integrator. And so it's very unique to find someone who encapsulates all of those capabilities in one human. What we're really doing is taking unique ability, as Dan Sullivan and strategic coach will say, to complement one another towards rocket fuel. And there's really a three part puzzle because it's the visionary, it's the integrator and then it's the organization. So to the degree that you get that combination, the right visionary and the right integrator together that meld to build this great organization is to the degree that you're going to get what you want from your business.
