The Three Vital Roles
❶
Dreamer
Let your mind wander freely.
Produce a visionary big picture
with no boundaries, limitations
or restraint. Ask yourself "What
do I really want, in an ideal
world?" Do not let reality come
into your thoughts. This is
daydreaming or brainstorming
time. It will most likely engage
your visual imagination.
Establish the payoffs of the
idea.
❷
Realist
This is about organizing ideas
to put your plan into practice.
What would need to happen to
make it real? How could you do
it? Think constructively. Devise
an action plan and evaluate it
to determine what is realistic.
Ask Yourself "What will I do to
make these plans a reality?"
Establish time frames and
milestones for progress. Make
sure your plan can be initiated
and maintained by the
appropriate person or group.
❸
Critic
Test your plan, look for
problems, difficulties and
unintended consequences.
Evaluate them. Ask yourself
"What could go wrong?" Think of
what is missing, what is
surplus, what the spins-offs
will be. Define the context in
which your plan is workable and
problematic.
