Dominant Textual Report

Notes:
Overview
Phlegmatic and controlled, Mr Dominant is nonetheless determined
and ambitious. His personality is suited to positions of control, and he
excels in taking personal responsibility and managing his own affairs.
He is responsive in nature, and adapts quickly to changing
situations.

His general style is self-contained in nature; while he will interact

effectively with others when necessary, he places little importance on
the building of personal relationships if he sees no clear benefit, and
for this reason others can see him as somewhat cold and calculating.

Personality Adaption
Mr Dominant's personality adaptation describes movements more
related to avoiding inappropriate actions at work than making positive
modifications to his style. His adaptation seems to be primarily aimed
at displaying less dependence on other people; he is not only less
concerned about others' opinions of him in the working environment,
but also shows a correspondingly greater willingness to act
independently, without waiting for confirmation of his intentions by
management.

Advantages
Mr Dominant has a driving personality with a strong emphasis on
achieving results. Efficient and motivated, he is ready to take personal
responsibility and work with energy and determination towards his
goals. He is rarely swayed by emotional considerations and is able to
make judgements and take decisions on an impartial and
dispassionate basis.

Disadvantages
Mr Dominant focuses far more on matters of practicality than on
personal questions, a factor that can be a distinct disadvantage in
dealing with other people. More open, emotional styles tend to
perceive him as cold and calculating, and he will often find it difficult to
establish the trust of those around him. This is especially true as he is
naturally direct and demanding, tending to state his point of view in a
forthright manner, and expecting others to obey his instructions
without question.

Communication Style
Questions of interpersonal communication are not high on Mr
Dominant's agenda. He considers communication, especially in a
work environment, as a way of telling others what he wants, and of
gathering sufficient information to reach appropriate decisions. His
assertive personality style can sometimes belie this basically
analytical approach, but his demanding nature and often belligerent
response to pressure situations makes him difficult to cope with for
less direct types of personality.

Mr Dominant likes to see an advantage for himself in almost

everything that he does, and this often affects his relationships with
others. His inherently assertive personality style means that he will
usually take a dominant role in his dealings with those around him.

Dominant Textual Report

Decision Making
Mr Dominant is a driving and demanding decision maker who reaches
his decisions quickly and uses his innate forcefulness and strength of
will to ensure that his conclusions are effectively implemented. He
focuses strongly on the efficient and practical, concentrating on these
elements, sometimes at the expense of less quantifiable effects of his
decisions.

Organisation And Planning

Mr Dominant has a very direct and determined style of personality. He
acts quickly and responsively, and will want to act on an idea as soon
as it occurs to him. This natural style makes it difficult for him to pause
and concentrate on detailed planning - he will more normally act on
his instincts, and deal with any obstacles as they arise.

Motivation
If Mr Dominant is to be motivated to follow a course of action, he will
need to be convinced that it is a positive direction to follow. His
practical turn of mind means that he will be far more interested in solid
evidence, demonstrations and figures, than personal appeals. At a
deeper level, he will also want to see that, by agreeing to a proposal,
he will derive some kind of advantage for himself. This is certainly not
to suggest that he is mercenary in his attitude, but the achievement of
his own goals in life is so important to him that it tends to underpin the
rest of his motivational factors.

Managing Style
An effective and adaptable manager, Mr Dominant's style emphasises
the need for rapid results, and his assertive and motivated nature
helps him to achieve these. He tends to be autocratic rather than
co-operative, and will expect his subordinates to follow his instructions
immediately and responsively. He can become extremely impatient
and demanding with members of his team who fail to live up to his
extremely high standards.

Style of Management Required

Mr Dominant is a highly assertive and competitive individual, and it is
an important part of the manager's role to deal effectively with these
traits. On the positive side, they lend Mr Dominant a dynamic, direct
approach that allows him to act efficiently and quickly, and respond
reactively to changes in his situation. Less positively, however, his
impatience and desire for personal responsibility can make him quite
difficult for a manager to control.
