youA-ll never be top dog
Sometimes I think that the world is divided between the people who make things happen and those that account for it. I know it is an over simplification but all the personality assessments, type indicators and their like break us into four types: the pragmatic, the analytical, the amiable and the extrovert.
Analytical personality types make great accountants. Conscious of the minute details and focused on ensuring that everything is accounted for. They check and re-check everything; analysing all possible outcomes; each possible permeation; things that can go wrong; things that can go right... And basically, because of this attitude they appear totally boring to the rest of us.
Unkind, unfair, unjustified I hear you cry! Maybe A but only just. The analytical canA-t be two things at once. They are unable to be an extrovert and an analytical, which means they donA-t make good sales people.
In addition to this damning description, they typically arenA-t good at getting people fired up or excited, which means they tend not to be good leaders. It is simply not part of who they are, their individual make-up, the DNA of their personality.
