This reminds me of Simon Wardley's "Pioneers, Settlers and Town Planners" model. I've found that recognising and understanding many different archetypes has been helpful in navigating complex organisations. It took me some years to realise that I was more of a Pioneer, but I spent most of my career in large organisations where the Town Planner mentality prevailed. Fortunately, I often managed to carve out a Pioneer role within them, which was valued, even if it rubbed some people up the wrong way at times!
