Determining Characteristics

Does = Impatient, tend to be highly effective emotional sales persons, story tellers. Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story;

Problem solvers = Fact based, but driven to find results. Tend to manage doers, and avoid time brainstormers as time wasters;

Integrators, fact and reflexion based. Analysis paralysis can be downside, but also very effective “factory and process managers”;

Brainstormers love idea generators, but loose patience with too much fact, and bond with doers.

Build a teamMake sure you understand who you have in your

team;

Don’t delude yourself that people do what they say, watch what they do……

Optimize, change, don’t let conflicts fester and escalate!
