The Individualist is a naturally non-conforming person who possesses a willingness to take risks when appropriate. Once a goal they deem worthy has been set, they will generally push hard to reach it. They can work steadily either in a collaborative or independent setting.

OVERVIEW ABOUT individualists
Individualists tend to have strong convictions, and they express them with confidence, often spurring innovation by acting on novel ideas. Generally undaunted by criticism or failure, they bring a creative spark to the team.
HOW TO MANAGE An individualist
Individualists excel when given the time and space to focus broadly on their goals. They appreciate the autonomy required to pursue creative, innovative solutions, but collaborate well with those who are experts in their own areas.
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 completely comfortable defying standard rules.
SELF COACHING QUESTIONS
- Have you considered how everyone else is feeling about this project or idea? Are they keeping up with your unconventional logic or are they lost without standard guidelines?
- Have you considered explaining your thought process to the team, rather than assuming they will blindly trust your unique approach?
- Have you considered following the established rules just this once, or are you changing the process simply for the sake of being different?
