OVERVIEW ABOUT MAVERICKS
Mavericks can adjust quickly to changing conditions, generate novel ideas on the fly, and generally deal with fluid situations well. They are driven to get things done - and specifically, they’re focused on getting the important things done quickly.
HOW TO MANAGE A MAVERICK
Mavericks need ample opportunity to express - and act on - their own ideas and initiatives. Autonomy and flexibility allow them to thrive in their role, and they also appreciate recognition and opportunities for advancement when they have success.
HIGHEST & LOWEST DRIVES
- With a High Dominance Drive they need independent, control, understand the big picture.
- With a Low Formality drive they will need freedom, flexibility and space to do things their own way.
FACTOR COMBINATIONS
- They will have an A>D making them very open to risk, new ideas and innovation.
SELF COACHING QUESTIONS
- Have you considered how everyone else is feeling about this project or idea? Are they burnt out trying to keep pace with your sudden pivots, or do they need a steady process to follow?
- Have you considered looking closely at the administrative details, or are you rushing past critical corporate risks simply to hit a goal faster?
- Have you considered taking the time to explain the logic behind your big ideas, or are you expecting the team to follow your lead blindly?
