Influence and Adaptability combine to produce the People Type, Thought and Delivery combine to produce the Task Type. The combined People and Task Type is described, along with the implications of the type in a range of situations and interactions. Influencer-Transactor Influencer-Transactors combine a focus on delivering results with powerful social influence. They enjoy analysing issues and their style tends towards the directive. Leadership Style Influencer-Transactors are capable of leading people to deliver impressive results. They create a compelling vision and use assertive approaches to get people bought into plans. They know exactly where they are going and focus on getting results. This singleminded pursuit of a clear direction can at times lead to an autocratic leadership style. Team & Peer Interaction Influencer-Transactors are likely to seek to influence in any team situation. They come across as purposeful, challenging and articulate. In project work, they are likely to focus strongly on their own needs and goals. They much prefer a leadership to a team member role, and prefer to dominate group situations. Managing Change Influencer-Transactors are most at ease leading change by drawing up clear plans and directing the implementation of these plans. Their enthusiastic thinking should find flaws in proposals and they are often influential stakeholders as they can sway others' views. Their tolerance and patience is limited when things do not go to plan. Cultural Synergies & Maximising Potential Influencer-Transactors need challenges in order to be stimulated in their work. They may lack empathy and upset others who stand in their way, and may struggle to contain their emotions when things go wrong. They prefer cultures where ambition and status matter. They work well in demanding environments and cope well with lack of support or flexibility from their colleagues. People Types Adaptor Adaptors are supportive, resilient and flexible in response to change. They are quiet and accommodating. Individualist Individualists are task rather than people-focused. They prefer environments where their specialist expertise is valued. Thinker Thinkers get straight to the core of a problem to find solutions. They may pursue ideas at the expense of accomplishing results. Preserver Preservers adopt conventional approaches to their work and prefer a steady work pace. Transformer Transformers combine interpersonal sensitivity with powerful social networks and definite leadership impact. Influencer Influencers excel at communicating their message. They enjoy using power and single-mindedly pursue their goals. Task Types Transactor Transactors combine thoughtful analysis with the driven pursuit of goals. They enjoy challenges and can be relied upon to deliver results. Doer Doers approach their work with dynamism and conscientiousness. They prefer action over intellectualised debate. This Types Report can be used on its own or in conjunction with the Expert, Personal or Line Manager Reports which provide more detail on the scores which underpin the overall types data. Group level reporting can facilitate team development interventions.
