DREAM TEAM OR
NIGHTMARE?
Talent isn't enough. You can have 5 geniuses in a room and still produce zero value if their personalities clash.
The "Perfect" Mix
Every successful team needs these 4 psychological pillars.
The Visionary
Starts Things
Thinks 10 years ahead. Ignores the "how" and focuses on the "what if".
The Architect
Builds Things
Focuses on systems, logic, and details. Turns chaos into order.
The Glue
Connects Things
Reads the room. Keeps morale high. Ensures everyone feels heard.
The Grinder
Finishes Things
Executes relentlessly. Doesn't care about theory, just results.
Why teams fight (The Friction Zones)
The Grinder
"Just ship it!"
The Architect
"It's not perfect yet."
The Fix: Agree on "Good Enough" metrics before starting.
The Analyst
"The data says fire them."
The Glue
"But they are trying!"
The Fix: Balance hard metrics with culture impact.
What does your team look like?
Most startups fail because they hire 5 "Visionaries" and 0 "Grinders".
Don't build a lopsided team.
