The Strategist thinks on the "what" dimension. Strategists are outrageously creative and innovative. They are always thinking outside the box and, unlike the PD, they thrive in ambiguity because they will invent models to understand the ambiguity. Creating innovative "whats" is the beauty of life for the Strategist. They have the ability to create the pipeline of ideas flowing not only to the Networker, but also to the EQ and PD.
The Strategists are not frequently found in the business world because their creativity naturally takes them to other professions such as creative writing, art, writing music, the theatre etc.
The Strategists do not like to have to implement their ideas, but they will in a pinch, and it might be ugly.
Find a Strategist who has acquired some business acumen and their creativity can be immensely powerful in a market. Put a world-class Strategist on a sales team and their creative "whats" might well obliterate the competition. The Strategist can usually usurp the selection criteria, if necessary, to win a deal.
In selling, it is critical to understand how to sell to a Strategist. Selling to a Strategist is completely different than selling to the other three Intellects.
