If a candidate likes to work on their own with clear deliverables that depend on their own efforts, they are less likely to be an integrator, according to Bonnell. Integrators, on the other hand, enjoy bouncing ideas off others, and accept the risk that they do well only when others do well.
Other less obvious roles are also poised to benefit from that “integrator spirit,” Bonnell said. For example, monitoring and evaluation, or impact investing are roles where integrators can bring a wider lens, she explained.
