As a leader in your family or business, have you found that at times there can be friction in the way you, your partner, or stakeholder(s) operate? One type of Leader is the Visionary. The other is the Integrator.

When these two leadership types come together the right way, you get more growth, direction, and impact. On the other hand, when it doesn’t gel, the ride can be incredibly bumpy and in some cases a mess.

Today’s conversation centers around his most recent book which he co-authored with Gino Wickman, “RocketFuel: The One Essential Combination That Will Get Your More of What You Want from Your Business.” This focuses on the main point of the book, that business leaders typically fall into one of two categories: Visionary or Integrator. By finding which one you are and pairing yourself with a business leader with the opposite set of gifts and skills, your business can accelerate at full momentum.

Mark C. Winters is a seasoned entrepreneur whose business career spans over 25 years. His experience ranges from multi-billion dollar global enterprises like Procter & Gamble and British Petroleum, to startup ventures originally conceived on a napkin over coffee. It’s a background like this that enables him to identify patterns of success as he sees them and apply them to virtually any business scenarios.

In this interview with Dan Kuschell, you’ll discover Mark’s passion for helping entrepreneurs get unstuck. Mark has a talent for introducing just the right combination of perspective and process that sparks teams to start moving in the proper direction with clarity or move faster.
