"JOHN SMITH" What kind of team player is John? The following personal statements are generated by your answers to The Birkman® Method questionnaire:  When he is at his best • Is typically direct and straightforward -- tends to get to the point • Structured in his approach to situations: presents his outline point by point, with at least some focus on detail issues • Tends to exercise authority naturally -- generally gives direct orders as much as he may seek a consensus from others • Is naturally competitive; likes to win, and prefers to encourage others using individualized incentives • Physically energetic; brings an emphasis on direct action to most issues, and seeks a similar approach from others • Thinks in terms of demanding goals, which will stretch his own and others' capabilities. May have a high level of expectation, both of himself and the people he works with • Likes to have plenty of variety in his routine; likely to expect others to be able to handle more than one issue at once • Open to innovation; may well encourage others to try unorthodox or untested methods to achieve their goals  His less effective approach • Can be brusque and over-direct, upsetting more sensitive people without realizing it • Can withdraw from general interaction with people; may remain by himself, or depend too much on a few people who are close to him • Can become more domineering than he realizes; may take others' silence for consent, when in fact they are intimidated • Can become over-competitive, to the extent that the need to win can be more important than a solution that benefits all • Can have expectations of others and himself that are unrealistic; inclined to blame himself for problems which arise, and sometimes too reluctant to abandon projects which realistically cannot succeed • Can sometimes be too inclined to deal with too many issues at once, or to focus unduly on secondary matters whose relevance is doubtful • Can underestimate the extent to which his liking for the unconventional or unorthodox can trouble other people; sometimes inclined to say or do something unusual merely for effect  File No. BX6396 • Presented by Birkman International, Inc. • info@inaccord.co
