The point man and visionary with big, hairy and audacious goals (gate man) who creates followers willing to sacrifice in blood, sweat and tears on behalf of a stated mission that galvanises the team as a cohesive unit to obtain the objective at all costs.
In the 7modalities paradigm, the IST genius, or what we refer to as the 'expansionist', brings a unique leadership style that is transformative in achieving audacious goals. This is primarily due to their 'proistemic natural defaults', a term we use to describe their inherent problem-solving and strategic thinking capabilities.
The 'proistemic natural defaults' of an IST genius are characterised by a deep-seated inclination towards knowledge, understanding, and effective problem-solving. This is not just about being smart in a traditional sense. It's about a kind of strategic, big-picture thinking that allows the IST genius to see patterns, make connections, and devise strategies that others might miss.

You understand the importance of the team and it is the team that will win the medals or bury the ________________.
You are always seeking to find loopholes to exploit possible opportunities that others are blind to. By the time you get done with one ____________________ , you are ready to relaunch into the next one.
The routine and the predictable makes you restless and you yearn for challenges that are daunting, and at times foolhardy. Your motto is: Go big or go _______.
Here are the 7 archetypes and defaults compared and contrasted - “Abba Father’s design from your mother’s womb”
WHO HAS THE VISION? Who sees the real objective; leading by example; "This is what we really need to do"; "my way or the highway”; “I did it my way”. (PRO-IS-TE-MI, proistemic genius)
Leadership (PRO-IS-TE-MI) understands changes in external environments, interprets their consequential impacts. The hallmark of proistemic genius is the ability to expand the core without compromising its integrity to deal with anxiety in society addressing inertia in the team in a determined and decisive way but may result in contemporary forms of slavery due to abuse of power and corruption.
Differences between archetypes are like inter-species differences between a fish, an elephant and a humming-bird. But within an animal, vegetable or mineral family, there are intra-differences that can be recognised and studied by an eye that is trained to parse the grammar of personality and distinguish within each archetype patterns that give shape to a particular modal excellence.
You are the born leader. It's not your fault, its your default. You may ask what I think, for my personal opinion but you have already made up your mind. For you, its "go big or go home".
Proistemic leaders are those intentional change makers determined to get the job done. Born leaders who don’t need to be taught how to lead and whose instincts are destined to make an impact from their mother’s womb.
In an unredeemed setting, we see these blind leaders leading their peoples into the pit. We see a Mao who killed millions of souls in his manic pursuit of communism and the extermination of the sparrrow species of birds in his dismissal of the laws of nature. We saw this same blindness in the Pol Pot regime and the killing fields in Cambodia. Jesus himself described this kind of proistemic wonder, “the blind lead the blind and both fall into the pit... ”
