When people come together in any planning process, an ecosystem of personalities are possible. We're talking here about personality as a way of thinking, a perspective, a bias for knowing.
Some examples:
Dreamers: people who like creating a compelling sense of the future different from the past, who thrive in change
Realists: people who like being realistic, who have little patience for assumption based fruitless discussion and inaction, who like productive progress in a reasonable direction
Creatives: people who like to solve puzzles and problems, who enjoy constant experimenting with whatever comes their way
Learners: people who like to learn about things that intrigue them, who relish the whole process of discovery, who see unknowns as their greatest assets
Maintainers: people who believe if we just keep trying to do more of the same, with occasional adjustments, we will achieve success
Victims: people who like complaining, finger-pointing, lecturing others on what they should be doing, wallowing in pessimism or cynicism, mainly because it relieves them of the burden of responsibility
RoadMapping engages the gifts of realists and creatives, dreamers and learners while giving maintainers and victims a chance to share in the engagement toward a more meaningful future and path towards it.
