However, someone who contemplates the big picture often can't see the small things without some discipline. A company can't function efficiently without a healthful serving of each. As an example, InnoVision's founder has the inherent ability to see future communication issues and challenges by scanning business cultures, publications and other resources, and assimilating what she finds into sound business strategy. She's most effective when she partners with a few detail meisters to get those strategies implemented. The result is a highly effective team.
People yearn to be strategists because they perceive tacticians as less powerful and less important.
Yet, think about all the highly respected professions that require someone to be highly tactical by nature. If she wasn't, think how screwed up your finances might become. You'd also want your doctor to be a good tactician. If she missed a small detail during a diagnosis, it could severely affect your health. You'd probably want to know exactly what activities or issues were problematic, and get the details of how to adjust your course to avoid legal trouble.
