strengths
- 01you rarely repeat yourself — your sessions reach for adjacent and unfamiliar domains

- 03you generate options the rest of the team didn't know existed
- 04you're comfortable in ambiguity, which most people aren't
watch for
- 01novelty for novelty's sake — sometimes the boring solution is the right one
- 02exploration can crowd out follow-through; pair with a builder if you struggle to ship
how to grow
