The Scoper

He narrows.

This is his gift and the organization values it correctly, because most projects fail from being too large and too vague, and he can take a sprawling mess of a question and cut it to a box the room can hold. He does it in the kickoff, on a whiteboard, in twenty minutes, and everyone leaves relieved. Relief is the emotional signature of this prophet and it is worth learning to notice. The relief often arrives dressed as a timeline. A thing we can finish inside a quarter. That is the bait. The doctrine is the smaller box.
