The Social Optimizer and The Eye of the Vortex both lead within people. When they first meet, who leads is interesting to watch.
The Socializer leads relationships through strategy. The Vortex leads atmosphere through energy. At first, they attract each other. The Socializer is fascinated by the Vortex's unlimited energy. The Vortex is charmed by the Socializer's sophisticated strategy. Together is powerful. But over time, power struggle for leadership begins.
The Vortex follows their energy. When the Socializer says "We planned this," the Vortex is already moving elsewhere. The Socializer's plan feels like binding the Vortex. The Vortex's unplanned nature looks untrustworthy to the Socializer. The Socializer feels "Why do you always ruin my plan?" while the Vortex feels "You're stealing my freedom."
They always fight over how to proceed. Only when one backs down is there comfort, but both don't want to back down.
“For these two to work, both leaders need to understand they can lead in different domains. When the Socializer leads relationships and the Vortex leads atmosphere, they create mutually complementary strong partnership.”
