12. Clear rules, procedures and
methods are important.
Expectations are clear with regular
feedback. You enjoy an informal
atmosphere.
Accuracy and procedures are
central in most day-to-day tasks.
Ideally you are not easily distracted,
you work precisely and with care for
detail.
You enjoy a considerable liberty in
executing tasks and the opportunity
to self-develop. Ideally you decide
to a large extent on the agenda and
planning yourself.
How something done is less
important as long as the objective
is achieved. Ideally you share in the
responsibility for the end product.
A lot of contact with people inside
and outside the organization. You
empathize with others and are
inclined to contribute to their
happiness and well-being.
Entrepreneurship, creativity and
the innovation of products and
processes are key. You enjoy a
dynamic and evolving
environment.
