A team contains one member who generates many creative ideas but often neglects practical detail, and another who turns ideas into workable plans. In Belbin's team roles, which role best describes the first member?

The first member is a Plant in Belbin's model: creative and idea-generating but inclined to overlook practical detail. The second member resembles an Implementer, who converts ideas into workable plans, while a Completer-finisher concentrates on detail and deadlines.

Explanation

The Plant is the creative, idea-generating member who may overlook details. The Implementer is the one who turns ideas into practical plans, as the second member does. The Completer-finisher focuses on detail and deadlines, the opposite of the first member's weakness.
