STRONGEST BEHAVIORS
Toni's PI Pattern has a very narrow width, so her behaviors are moderate in their expression.
While moderate, Toni will most strongly express the following behaviors:
Proactivity in driving to reach her goals while moving at a faster-than-average pace. Inquisitive
about the world around her.
Relatively independent in taking action on her own ideas. Resourcefully works around most
obstacles blocking completion of what she wants to accomplish.
Eager for results, her drive is for swift implementation. She works best in fast-paced
environments offering a variety of activities, rather than routines.
Task-focused; she often notices and is driven to fix technical problems, cutting through any
personal/emotional issues. In areas of interest, has aptitude to spot trends in data or figure out
how complex systems work.
Relatively independent in thinking and action; often comfortable taking action without input
from others. An analytical and private person.

SUMMARY
Toni is an intense, results-oriented person, whose drive and sense of urgency are tempered and
disciplined by her strong concern for the accuracy and quality of the details of any work for which she
is responsible. Her approach to any work she does will be based on thorough analysis and detailed
knowledge of all pertinent facts.
Much more technically than socially-oriented, she has confidence in her technical/professional
knowledge and ability to get things done correctly. With experience, she will develop a high level of
expertise in her work and will be critical of mistakes made either by herself or anybody working under
her supervision. She takes her work and responsibilities very seriously and expects others to do the
same.
In relation to people, Toni is reserved and private, with little interest in small talk. Her interest and her
energy will be focused primarily on her work, and, in general, she is more comfortable and open in the
work environment than in purely social situations. Her style of communication is factual and direct.
Toni is a forceful individual with the drive to make decisions and initiate action. However, she is most
effective when making decisions within her expertise, where she can predict and control the risks
associated with the decisions. She will thoroughly analyze, and often avoid, discussions related to
things she is less familiar with and, therefore, less able to predict and control the accompanying risks.
When under pressure to make risk decisions quickly, she may delay or put off those decisions because
of her strong need to find the "perfect" solution.
MANAGEMENT STYLE
As a manager of people or projects, Toni will be:
Both broadly focused and tactically cognizant; her attention is split equally between goal
attainment and quality assurance – getting it done – and making sure it is done absolutely right
Analytical, intense, and imaginative – a problem solver driven to perfection
Hesitant to delegate authority or details and when she does delegate her follow-up is close and
critical; it is very difficult to meet her exacting standards
Slow to trust others until they have produced accurate, timely results consistently; even then she
is cautious in delegation
Literal in interpreting deadlines; pushes her team hard to meet them
More focused on professional or technical results than on team building or collaboration
Private, reserved, and formal; offers her opinion only after she has mastered the information
herself.
MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
To maximize her effectiveness, productivity, and job satisfaction, consider providing Toni with
the following:
