Expression 7 and Expression 8

Expression 7 and Expression 8 compare two ways of operating in the world. Here is how the styles meet, in work and in the ordinary run of a day.

How Expression 7 and 8 get along

Where 7 will pause, 8 will act. 7's approach is to analyse before moving, carefully, privately, with conclusions that arrive late but fully formed; 8's approach is to move before analysing, strategically, visibly, with corrections made in real time. The behaviours are opposite in tempo, but what connects them is that both of you respect competence, you just define it differently.
