The Strategist
Frames the bet; needs an operator to ship it.
Method
Five moves from a sentence to a team map.
Roleworks is deliberately small: one input, five dimensions, one report. Here is exactly how it reads a team.
- 01
You write a brief
A sentence or two about the team and the role. No questionnaire, no scales to game.
- 02
We read five dimensions
Each person is placed on Strategy, Execution, Collaboration, Innovation and Drive.
- 03
We overlay the team
Profiles are stacked so shared strengths and missing wedges are visible at a glance.
- 04
We map complements
A 2×2 shows who covers whose blind spot — and where the team is doubling up.
- 05
You get a plan
A fit scorecard per candidate and a 30/90-day plan so the match survives reality.
What each axis measures.
01
Strategy
Sets direction, sees around corners.
02
Execution
Ships on cadence, closes loops.
03
Collaboration
Works with and through others.
04
Innovation
Finds the non-obvious path.
05
Drive
Owns outcomes, sets the pace.
The complementary matrix.
The Founder-type
Owns outcomes, sets pace; can crowd quieter craft.
The Craftsperson
Deep quality; thrives with cover from louder roles.
The Operator
Turns intent into cadence; classic Strategist complement.
