The same brain architecture that enables breakthrough strategic vision systematically undermines sustained execution. A 2024 meta-analysis in Nature Human Behaviour found human-AI collaboration often performs worse than either alone (g = -0.23)—yet for creative tasks, the relationship reverses. This episode explores why possibility-oriented minds face systematic execution challenges, what research reveals about minimum viable structure, and how to engineer systems that leverage creative strengths while compensating for trait-based vulnerabilities.
