THE PATHFINDER + THE RAINMAKER

The Gum and the Wattle

Two people who like going first. Brilliant together — as long as somebody finishes.

Where you’re strong together

The Pathfinder sees where it's all heading; the Rainmaker sees the opening right in front of you. The long game and the quick win in one pair. You'll bring more energy and more ideas than anyone else in the room.

Where you’ll grind

Neither of you loves the detail, and neither of you loves finishing. You'll both be three ideas ahead and wondering why the last two haven't happened. The Rainmaker chases the opening; the Pathfinder wonders whether it's even the right road.

WHAT THE PATHFINDER NEEDS FROM THE RAINMAKER

Tell me which of my big ideas has a door open right now. You'll spot the one I've walked past.

WHAT THE RAINMAKER NEEDS FROM THE PATHFINDER

Tell me if the shiny thing I'm chasing actually goes where we're headed.

ONE CONVERSATION WORTH HAVING
