The Visionary thinking style

Visionary thinkers think in possibilities. They picture where things could go long before anyone else, and they’re energised by new ideas.

use it for

  • Setting a clear direction and picturing the finish line
  • Getting unstuck when every day feels the same
  • Inspiring others with where things could go

watch for

  • Starting ten things and finishing none
  • Skipping the boring middle where the work actually happens
  • Losing interest once the idea is no longer new
