Summary

Amanda is a confident, independent self-starter with competitive drive, initiative, a sense of urgency, and the ability to make decisions and take responsibility for them. Can react and adjust quickly to changing conditions and come up with ideas for dealing with them. Their drive is purposeful, directed at getting things done quickly. This individual responds positively and actively to challenge and pressure, and has confidence in their own ability to handle novel problems and people. An outgoing, poised person, a lively and enthusiastic communicator, tending to be a little more authoritative than persuasive in style. Talks briskly, with assurance and conviction and is a stimulating influence on others, while being firm, direct, and self-assured in dealing with them. Distinctly faster-than-average pace of work, Amanda learns and takes action quickly. On the other hand, they’ll become impatient and restless working repetitively with routine details or structured work and will delegate such work if possible. Follow up will focus on completion and accomplishment, rather than how things were done. With an interest in other people and their development, Amanda will delegate authority, limiting such delegation to those who can be trusted, and following up with pressure for timely results. Makes decisions about people and situations quickly. Assesses what’s generally going on, and rather than exhaustively research, pulls together the information at hand and takes forceful action. They’re confident in assumptions about any missing information, and comfortable acting even in the absence of complete information. For this individual, continual progress towards the general goal is more important than always being exactly on track; course corrections will be made as necessary, when the time arises. Self-assured, Amanda sets high standards of achievement, both personally as well as for teams and looks for opportunities to compete and to win. Venturesome, they are stimulated by new challenges and situations, and can generally be found driving to new horizons. Harbors strong personal and professional ambition.


Management Strategies

To maximize effectiveness, productivity, and job satisfaction, consider providing Amanda with the following:

As much independence and flexibility in activities as possible

Opportunities to learn and advance

Opportunities for expression of, and action on, ideas and initiatives

Variety and challenge in responsibilities

Opportunities to demonstrate skills, and recognition and reward for doing so

Freedom from routines and repetitive details, balanced by accountability for results.
