It’s not a lesser cousin of intelligence. We need both smart people and quiet builders – that’s how empires are built.
Resourcefulness is intelligence too; applied to people, time, and real problems – beyond just abstractions. Ideas without follow-through go nowhere. Execution without ideas goes nowhere in particular.
Generating ideas and fulfilling them don’t compete, they’re dependent on each other. An idea is a claim about what’s possible; execution is the test to find out if it is true.
