Rocket Fuel
by Gino Wickman and Mark C. Winters
The Visionary and the Integrator: why most growing companies need both a big-picture founder and an operator who makes it run, how to tell which you are, how to find the other, and the five rules for working together. It is from the EOS/Traction world and practical to the point of checklists.
Read it if…
you are a founder drowning in operations, or an operator working with one.
Skip it if…
you run a solo business; this is about a pair.
Three things you will actually use
- Visionaries and integrators need each other and frustrate each other.
- Same-page meetings keep the pair aligned.
- One person must own the week-to-week.
Do this first
Take the Visionary/Integrator assessment honestly, then list what you should stop doing.
Our verdict
Founder plus operator, explained.
