What is a captain
Four Key Words
Poised | Influential | Driven | Undaunted
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
- High Dominance: independence, control of the big picture, wants to steer.
- High Extraversion: social engagement, energised by influencing the people around them.
- Low Patience: pace and variety, repetitive work frustrates them.
- Low Formality: flexibility, room to improvise rather than follow rigid process.
FACTOR COMBINATIONS
- A>D: Open to risk and change, and quick to challenge the status quo.
- B>C: Energized by people and momentum rather than steady routine.
- High A + High B: Naturally vocal and influential, with a risk of overpowering quieter voices if that style is not moderated.
SELF COACHING QUESTIONS
- Have you considered where your drive is creating useful momentum, or whether moving too quickly to a decision is leaving others without enough room to contribute?
- Have you considered when a more measured pace would improve the quality of the outcome, or are you treating urgency as the default even when the stakes call for more care?
- Have you considered where stronger attention to details and process would support execution, or are you expecting direction and confidence to carry the work the rest of the way?
