Visionaries operate from first principles. They question assumptions that everyone else takes for granted and set ambitious, long-term direction for their products and companies. They're the leaders who saw that software would eat the world, that remote collaboration needed better tools, that AI would reshape product development. Their thinking is often years ahead of the market, and their greatest skill is crystallizing that vision into a narrative that attracts talent, capital, and users.

Strengths

+ Sets ambitious product direction that inspires teams and attracts top talent
+ Thinks from first principles rather than incremental iteration
+ Connects market shifts and technology trends to product opportunity
+ Creates compelling product narratives that align diverse stakeholders

Blind Spots

! Can struggle with the messy, incremental execution required to realize a big vision
! May dismiss data-driven approaches as too incremental or narrow
! Risk of chasing the next big thing before the current thing is fully built

Growth Edge

Pair your vision with execution systems. The best ideas die in the gap between strategy and shipping. Find an execution-oriented partner or build that muscle yourself.
