      One of the key refinements to this thought that I've noticed in personal life and at more scaled operations is that there seems to be a division of labor between people who are good at ideation/first execution and those who can run a machine to squeeze all the juice out of one.

          Absolutely. Also, watching pairings of people who have longstanding relationship working together with one doing each side of this is really special

          I’ve seen a third group in the middle: Able to adapt and extend the ideas/execution to new situations but not new-big-idea generators; not interested in tuning repeated execution.

          I've just read a book which calls this the "hunter/farmer" distinction. It's actually a book about ADHD.

          I'm intrigued if the book in question covers people who may have a foot in both camps with this...asking for a friend 😁

          Sounds like the visionary and integrator roles from Gino Wickman’s Rocket Fuel. Ray Dalio also talks about that on Principles. Most successful orgs have both working together: Jobs/Cook, Gates/Allen, Musk/Shotwell, etc.
