Are you an INSTINCTIVE or intellectual leader?

Have you ever noticed some people seek knowledge relevant and useful to their current situation, while others seek to expand their understanding and knowledge in all endeavors?

What is the INSTINCTIVE Driving Force?

People with Instinctive as their primary Driving Force are driven by utilizing past experiences, intuition and seeking specific knowledge when necessary. They make up 3% of the population.

These individuals are energized by things like:

  • Deciding based on intuition

  • Learning on demand

  • Applying past knowledge

And stressed out by things like:

  • Conducting extensive research

  • Discussing hypothetical subjects

  • Justifying intuitive decisions

Some Words that Work for these individuals are:

  • Relevant

  • Specific

  • Apply

And, some Words that Don’t Work for these individuals are:

  • Comprehensive

  • Examine

Is this you? Who do you have on your team who is driven this way? Do you have a clear understanding and appreciation of team members like this? Are these characteristics present or missing from your team? Do they or would they benefit the team? Are you as the leader doing things that energize or create unnecessary friction for these members of your team?
