Explorers are Solutionaries. Conquerors are Revolutionaries.
Leaders that focus on incremental progress – being “solutionary” rather than revolutionary – are the ones that truly push ideas to full fruition. Such behavior takes a tremendous amount of discipline. But with conviction and clearly defined goals, creative energy can be channeled to refine a good idea enough to make a great impact. (source)
Which do you want to be?
Couldn’t agree with the Explorer’s list! Wonderful words of wisdom to live by which I do whilst traveling.
Hey MsKaye,
Glad you prefer to be an explorer rather than a conqueror. It means you are creative and live by it! Good for you.
