Engaged Idealist: Career

As an Engaged Idealist you are one of the extroverted personality types. You enjoy working in a colorfully diverse group of people who interest and inspire you. Working in a “secluded room” is not your thing. You enjoy emphasizing with those around you and soon everybody senses the high priority and importance people represent to you. Therefore a team-oriented project is just right for you.

Your insight into human nature, your feel for your colleague’s and/or subordinate’s positive sides and potentials and your preparedness to encourage and support everyone around you to the best of your ability quickly brings them closer to you. People like to ask you for advice, appreciate your caring ways and appreciate to be taken under your wings. Within your means you are always available to others who need you because you yourself enjoy the ultimate gratification of being able to help others to make the best of themselves and to be successful mediating conflicts among people.

You are well suited to be an executive: It is difficult to resist your charisma, your enthusiasm and your ability to excite and motivate others. Authoritarian management attitudes are not your thing; it is your way to convince others of a project’s reason and significance who will then look forward to follow you voluntarily. You place a lot of value on creating the willingness to cooperate in others and with your gift to motivate that usually comes easy to you. You do not enjoy conflicts, need harmony and invest lots of energy and time in a good working climate and a harmonic relationship of your colleagues among each other.

With your customers you also prefer to maintain friendly and sincere contacts that are characterized by mutual support and goodwill. To “pull someone across the table” in order to get an economic advantage does not even enter your mind; you would rather create a “win-win” situation so that everybody departs with the feeling of having been successful. Consequently you are appreciated as a trustworthy, reliable and tolerant boss, colleague and business partner. You are not made for working in environments that depend on steel elbows, aggressive competition and assertiveness at any price. Envy, resentment and a continuously strained atmosphere make you feel uncomfortable.
