Work Energizes Me!
This week we celebrate the Driver personality or the D personality. Sometimes they are referred to as a Type A personality. This person is the risk taker. They move at a fast pace and are very focused. They are probably the most misunderstood of the four personalities. We sometimes misread them or make assumptions that are not true. Drivers are very ambitious and work really hard. They consider anything that distracts them away from work, a waste of time. Therefore, they are not likely to be standing around chit-chatting with others. They can be direct, and sometimes very blunt. You might say they don’t have a filter, but that’s only because they move and think at such a fast pace, that sometimes their words come out too fast to stop. This person is the natural leader. They are good at building companies and creating security for those around them. They think of their role as taking care of those in their trust, which can be at home or work. When this person misses family engagements, it’s usually because of work. They think of earning money as being important to those who depend on them, even though their family members might prefer to have them at home or the event. Is this you? Do you live with this personality? This person loves to build things, to manage things and embraces new opportunities. But once it’s built, or mastered, they get bored and look for a new project.
Something to Think About
The driver personality values those in their life, personally and professionally, who take care of the details behind the scenes. Every minute of the day, they want to be face to face with someone who they can do business with. They are the leaders and builders of the world, and they are very valuable to those around them.
Weekly Activity
If you are the driver personality, take some time this week to spend with your family or those you care about. Be present in their conversations. Turn off your cell phone for an hour or put a message on your voicemail that says you are unavailable and will return their call tomorrow, then turn it off for the day! Those who value your services will wait until you can call them back. If you live with the driver, remember that they do what they do, as much as they do it because they care about those entrusted to their care.
