OVERVIEW ABOUT CAPTAINS

Captains are driven and competitive, able to respond to pressure and the need to get things done quickly. They possess a strong sense of urgency, and they can make decisions with conviction while assuming responsibility for their actions.

HOW TO MANAGE A CAPTAIN

Captains appreciate some day-to-day independence and flexibility, and they thrive when afforded opportunities to express, act on, and carry out their own ideas and initiatives.

HIGHEST & LOWEST DRIVES

  • With a High Dominance Drive they need independent, control, understand the big picture.
  • With a Low Patience drive they will need variety, fast pace and space to move things along quickly.

FACTOR COMBINATIONS

  • They will have an A>C making them very driving, fast-paced and eager for immediate results.

SELF COACHING QUESTIONS

  • Have you considered how everyone else is feeling about this project or idea? Are they burnt out by your fast pace or do they need more time to process?
  • Have you considered looking closely at the details before moving forward, or are you rushing past critical risks to hit a deadline?
  • Have you considered stepping back to let others lead, or are you taking total control and shutting down team initiative?
