bringing an idea into an actionable stage is incredibly difficult. the visionary can often imagine but fails to translate the dream to reality. here are a few reasons…

• the fragility of the visionary’s heart: criticism in the early stages of a dream can kill the visionary’s initiative—sabotaging productivity. 
• the great gulf between the dream and reality: visionaries typically think in terms of “what” not “how.” they know what should happen but they struggle thinking the complexities of how it should happen (dates/times/promotion/general planning). 
• there are many other reasons…

the biblical image of a helper is to provide resources for someone that they cannot provide for themselves (genesis 2, psalm 54/4 & 94/17). the visionary needs the helper. here is what the helper can provide.

• affirmation for the visionaries fragile heart: the helper can be a affirming voice at the challenging early stages of a making an idea actionable.
• helping the visionary bridge the gulf: the helper can provide a “how” (dates/times/promotion/general planning) for the visionary’s “what”
• there are many other ways…

often there is tension between these two types of people, there shouldn’t be. there should be harmony. 

vision + practiced vision + repeated vision = vision infused culture

(it’s always more complicated… in real life.)
