Visionary: Envision. Design. Implement.

Primary Goal

To envision possibilities, ideas, and opportunities, and make them happen with design and creative strategies. To inspire and bring to life what others dream about.

Understand The Visionary

The creative and innovative thinking of Visionaries bring traction and progress to the ideas and dreams of others. They typically drive social change, make life richer, and model and integrate their high morals and personal values in their daily interactions. Visionaries are known for seeing the possibilities in ideas and people that would otherwise go unrecognized.

  • Visionaries thrive in work environments where ideas and dreams can be expressed in creative and artistic ways and become reality. They require an atmosphere where potential, possibilities, and ambition are embraced, as they seek to execute, innovate, and see evidence of their visions coming to fruition.
  • Work environments that provide the freedom to be original, create, and incorporate their mission and values are a must for Visionaries. A lack of ongoing training or mentoring will leave them uninspired and they will not function at their full potential when their innovative ideas and out-of-the-box thinking is discouraged.
  • Visionaries are prone to thinking their designs and ideas are best and can struggle to embrace critique from others. It is important for them to be aware of their high ideals, remain grounded in reality, not become distracted by endless possibilities and potential, and finish the work at hand.
  • If you are on a team with a Visionary you can expect them to be imaginative, creative, inspirational, and innovative. They are idealists and dreamers but also strategists in making the impossible a reality and bringing transformation to environments and people.

Take the MCode Assessment

“Right before I had my entire team undergo the MCode assessment, I felt challenged in leading them effectively. Discovering that I was a Visionary didn’t come as a surprise. However, what did surprise me was realizing that I had modeled my leadership after the styles of a Driver or Orchestrator, my two least dominant dimensions, which predominantly characterized my team.

From that day forward, I stepped back from all production work and began focusing on what I do best: recognizing the untapped potential before us and shaping our future. I am now more excited and energized, and my team has a clear direction to drive towards.”

“Have you ever known something about yourself to be truer than true but lacked the words to express it? MCode gave me language to describe the way I operate in the world that I didn’t even know I was lacking.

I’ve always known I was bent towards Visionary mindsets and big-picture thinking, but learning from MCode how to tailor my environment to ensure that I can thrive while also being aware of obstacles along the way has been a game changer. I’m happier than ever, and my team is more engaged and empowered as a result.”
