It doesn’t even qualify as a simple machine, but the careful thought and design that went into the creation of the modern, angled bristle, fat handled toothbrush shows just how much brainpower goes into something that is designed to simply work well and not be noticed all that much (until it’s time to buy the next one).

Why Entrepreneurial Companies Need a Visionary And An Integrator

Did you know it takes two types of leaders at the helm of a 10-250 person entrepreneurial organization to have the “Rocket Fuel” it needs to hit the next level? They’re known as the Visionary and the Integrator.

Why Entrepreneurial Companies Need a Visionary And An Integrator

As a Visionary entrepreneur, your passion, drive and creativity are the key elements that helped launch your business and fuel your company’s growth. But now… your company is growing and you’re swamped with an overwhelming workload, your engine is sputtering, stalling and your momentum stagnating. Every great Visionary hits this threshold. Enter the Integrator. You need someone detail-oriented, who knows how to keep the team harmonious and productive, is great at resolving conflict, and can execute detailed plans for maximum results. That will give YOU the freedom to focus on what you were built to do-- blast off and catapult your company to its full potential.
