"I can see that" - a visual person's response
The first type of a team member identified in the Real Truth About Success book is:
"The vision person: "I see it. I see everything. I see the future."
The vision person is usually the big idea person. They can think outside of that box and at times you have to tell them to get back in the box.
Their usefulness comes from idea generation. They are able to visualize a new future state clearly. At times that idea excites them more than the current reality so much that they do not understand why the rest of the team does not see their vision as the only way to get there.
Companies often try to get their employees to "brainstorm". Not everyone can do this easily like the vision people on a team. So it is important to nurture their ability by allowing them to pursue some of their "visions". Great examples of companies that do this well is Google and 3M where a certain percentage of each employee's time is spent working on personal pet projects.
Today's question is:
"Can you see the future clearly?"
