It’s a shame the concept of an “ideas man” has been ridiculed for so long, because that’s precisely what it lets you be good at.
If you can put together a jack of all trades to spawn vaguely sensible ideas, and someone who hyperfocuses on a field of interest, you can just churn out good ideas that are well on the way to being implementable.
the problem is that for every ideas man, you need at least 20 people to actually do the work. And that work is a lot more tedious than being the one who comes up with the ideas
and of course, most people can’t tell the difference between a “good ideas man” and a “bad ideas man”, and there are a lot more of the latter
