Searchers VS Planners

Interesting piece @ Big Think -

Searching for Searchers

• "Planners announce good intentions – but don’t motivate anyone to carry them out.
• Searchers find things that work and get some reward.
• Planners raise expectations but take no responsibility for meeting them.
• Searchers accept responsibility for their actions.
• Planners determine what to supply.
• Searchers find out what’s in demand.
• Planners apply global blueprints.
• Searcher adapt to local conditions.
• Planners believe outsiders know enough to impose solutions.
• Searchers believe only insiders have enough knowledge to find solutions."

In most communities I've worked I've heard this as "planners vs doers", lots of planners and few doers I've heard people lament... Strikes me as some subtle differences in doers and searchers... nevertheless, communities need searchers and doers, much more than planners.
