In Who Not How, Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy advocate that instead of getting paralyzed by figuring out how to achieve your goals, determine WHO is the right person to collaborate with to realize them. Having the right WHO maximizes your availability to focus on your unique ability and improves your productivity.
In Rocket Fuel by Gino Wickman and Mark Winters, they teach that in an organization the Visionary sparks innovation, crafting exciting new ideas and strategies that propel growth. But without the grounded Integrator’s discipline to systematically execute those ideas, progress stalls. Steve Jobs had Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates had Paul Allen, Dan Sullivan had Benjamin Hardy – you get the idea.
We all need the right WHO to enable us to transition, progress or even rocket to the next level.
