“We have to make it safe so that the visionary can have ideas, and the team can all come together and gut check against our goals and our plan as a company; and it's not just saying yes to the visionary,” explains Jamie Munoz, visionary and founder of Catalyst Integrators, a fractional integrator firm that provides support to companies running on EOS (the Entrepreneurial Operating System). Today, Jamie joins host Kiley Peters to talk about outsourcing and delegating for visionaries. 

For many entrepreneurs and start-up companies, the owner is often wearing multiple hats and performing the functions of both the visionary and the integrator. Eventually it comes time to delegate some of that work so that they can free up time to focus on what they do best. By bringing in a fractional integrator, there is then part time support to help the visionary not only make their ideas actionable, but also ensure those ideas stay aligned with the company’s overall goals. It can be really difficult for visionaries to get their ideas out of their heads and clearly convey exactly what they want to their teammates. The integrator can be a big help in that regard, making sure that everyone is on the same page, and creating a safe environment for teammates to speak up if they do not agree with the visionary’s plan. 

Are you a visionary with a lot of ideas that you are struggling to execute yourself? It may be time to delegate, and an integrator can help make that process smoother so that you can stay on track to reach your goals.
