Motivators

Ms Smith is motivated by achieving good results, challenging assignments, power and authority. Equally security of situation, sincere appreciation for a job well done and a happy home life are important to Ms Smith. She will be looking for opportunity and advancement within the organisation but may need time to adjust to sudden change.

Should Ms Smith have a boss, then ideally that person will be a direct but diplomatic leader who not only gives clear objectives and negotiated timescales, but also the responsibility and freedom to research the requirement and complete the task. Security of situation and a structured working environment are also important.

Values Ms Smith brings to the Organisation

This determined person adds stability to her drive for results. In a deliberate manner she is able to assess the effects of change before embarking on a course of action which may be regretted later. Although she will listen attentively to arguments, queries or complaints, she is likely to adopt a conservative, traditional stance when suggesting solutions or a plan of action. Her strengths lie in her reliable, cautious approach that tempers her forceful, forbidding demeanor. She is hardworking and focused on reaching measurable results and reducing costs. If in a management position, she may act as a brake, steadying any impulsive decision-making on the part of other more unconventional team members.
