How to work with a Catalyst

Let them open doors and rally people. Back them up with someone who loves the follow-through they don't.

Hiring a Catalyst (ID)

Excels out front: sales, partnerships, customer-facing work. Check for follow-through before handing them back-office detail. The secondary D means you also get decisive under pressure; interview for it directly instead of assuming.
