Stephan Goetschius's List: Leadership & Teams

• may increasingly seek uncertainty, difference and instability in their work and their life.
• Strategists, in contrast, are able to adjudicate among rivaling opinions and beliefs based on the quality of the arguments and ideas given. They tend to value those perspectives that are constructive, people-oriented, inclusive, dynamic, and foster continuous learning over those perspectives that are critical or judgemental, single position, exclusive, static, and merely fact-oriented or "objective."
• Strategists want to know how the different systems they are engaged in (organization, family, society) interact with each other.
• Strategists are as interested in the processes of doing something as in the results achieved
• Reportees and juniors at earlier Action Logics may feel disconcerted by them and their "odd view of reality". They may find them too complex and not practical enough, always looking beyond immediate concerns.
• enjoy "reframing" (rather than breaking) the rules where the rules are seen as unnecessarily limiting, unproductive or stifling of creativity.
• there can be no separation of being and doing.
• Alchemists are individuals who embody a deep wisdom coupled with the humility, ordinariness and the lightness of a jester.
• Alchemists seemingly have a knack for doing the right things (often unexpected or unorthodox) at the right time.
