CHALLENGES
AS COLLEAGUE
Directors like to be part of a well-run organization which has established rules and guidelines. They thrive in creating order and making sure that everyone has well-defined roles and responsibilities, and work to ensure that everything is done by the book. Their communication style is based on communicating the facts and the plans, with little regard for people’s feelings, which can sometimes be harsh to more sensitive personality types.
AS LEADER
In leadership roles, Directors take great pride in organizing projects and bringing teams together to complete a goal. They always have their finger on the pulse, making sure that what needs to get done is done, and use their strong-will stand up for their ideas and their teams. Directors may struggle when innovative or new ideas are to be implemented; however, once they have established a plan, nothing will stop them from meeting their targets.
AS SUPPORTER
Dutiful and honest, Directors will naturally say what is on their mind and give their opinions. And if their concerns are adequately addressed, they will use their organizational abilities and strong work-ethic to complete whatever task is set in front of them. Their respect of hierarchy and authority make them especially dedicated workers and enjoy being part of a team focussed on getting things done.
