So what happens when the starters design something that just doesn't work? How are they getting feedback without finishing? Finishers are actually the ones I want starting the project.
What do you do when none of your finishers start anything?

#12starters - people you hire to act as programmers because you need headcount. finishers - actual programmers. guards - programmers that you should pay really well but you don't because you have a non-technical project manager and you think it's the same.
I, the OP, am a starter myself. I was focused on finishers because they're often undervalued.
We all are starters in some way. The thing that helped me was to realize it and change my ways. Also it helps if starters do not run the show.

In reality, everyone works together to make sure the project is successful throughout its lifespan. It's not usually a hand-off.
