A kite and string can be a good analogy for the different roles people play in an organization.
Some are the kites — with vision, looking at the organization from above.
Others are the string — grounding the kites in reality and keeping the ideas from floating away.
The string may become frustrated when it gets tangled in the kite — just as the kite may become annoyed with the string for holding it back — but without each other, the kite would be colorful, but useless.
Appreciate the role you play — as well as the role others play to allow your organization to soar.
