Strategies vs tactics

Tasks Masters and Big Thinkers

Task Masters and the Big Thinkers. Both are super important for making things happen.

Big Thinkers are the dreamers. They’re always looking at the big picture, cooking up grand plans on how to win hearts and make a big splash. They’re the “what if” and “let’s aim high” folks, always thinking about the next big thing that could really make a difference.

The Task Masters are the doers. They make sure all the plans actually happen. They’re all about the here and now, ticking off boxes, making calls, and getting stuff done. They’re the ones who make sure every little detail is perfect.

Sometimes, it feels like they’re speaking different languages. Big Thinkers have these huge ideas but need the okay from Task Masters, who are busy with today’s to-do list. It can be tricky, but here’s how we make magic happen together:

First off, we gotta talk more. Big Thinkers should share their big dreams in a way that fits with what needs to get done today. It’s like saying, “Here’s how what we do today can help us win big tomorrow.” This helps everyone see how the day-to-day tasks are steps towards those big goals.

Let’s run two paths at the same time. One path is for the everyday stuff we gotta do, and the other is for those big, cool plans. This way, we keep the campaign moving smoothly while also chasing those big dreams. And if one of those big ideas starts looking really good, we can start mixing it into our daily tasks.

Celebrate every win, big or small. This shows we value both the everyday hard work and the big leaps forward. It’s like giving a high-five for finishing your chores and also for scoring the winning goal.

Having a goal that everyone is trying to hit together helps a lot. When everyone knows what we’re all aiming for, it’s easier to see why both the small tasks and the big ideas are important. It’s like everyone playing on the same team, trying to win the game.

In the best setup, the folks in charge need to see the big picture too. They should be all about making big things happen, not just ticking boxes. If they’re only focused on today’s tasks, they might not be looking far enough ahead.

For the Big Thinkers, let’s give them special projects where they can really shine. Our campaigns need to be ready for what’s coming next, and that means we need people thinking about tomorrow. Let’s give them the tools, advice, and chances they need to grow. It’s all about making sure we’re set for the future, starting now.

So, to wrap it up: let’s keep talking, run two paths, cheer for every win, shoot for the same goal, make sure our leaders can dream big, and give the Big Thinkers their own projects to run with. This way, we make sure we’re nailing it today and getting ready for an even better tomorrow.
