E N T P
More About us ENTP Types
• We seek to understand the world that they live in – I live in a constant state of analysis and seek patterns in everything.
This include small things like testing my commute to work and large items like setting a strategy for our business.
• Constantly absorbing ideas and images – while I am very visual, I also seek to understand the meaning behind others
ideas and assimilate them into my vision.
• Quick and accurate in the ability to size up a situation – I bring in new information as additive to the current set of
thinking, which enables me to adjust my position as needed without a full reversal of the concept.
• Idea people – I am constantly thinking about where the patterns will lead us from a market perspective and often come
up with concepts that seem extremely bold or unique to others. This happens because I make connections in the
patterns more quickly than non-ENTP types.
• Less interested in making plans than generating possibilities – yes, but always within the framework and done with a
larger strategic plan in mind.
• Love to talk through the ideas and enjoy the debate that ensues – healthy debate makes us all better, provided that it is
done within an environment of trust and respect.
• Under Stress, can overlook others and their ideas – only when there is little time for patience. This is generally
employed in an, “ok, I’ll just have to show them.” type of manner.

How will you know if you are not performing well?- I will tell you
and provide examples/details
How will I assess your performance- We will set goals at the
beginning of each quarter, track your progress toward those goals
and discuss how well you reached those goals.
What is my definition of a top performer?- Always looks to take
things to the next level/ delivers every time/ learns from mistakes &
doesn’t repeat them/ shows passion
How should mistakes be handled?- Face them head on, learn and
move on.
Communication preferences- more is better/ provide any info in
advance through email
Status update expectations- weekly. Tell me what you’ve
accomplished, risks towards the goal, what you need to complete
the task, and what you expect to complete in the next week.
How should decisions get made?- I trust you to make the right
decision, if unsure, work it through with me.
How handle if ever unhappy or concerned about something?- Voice
your concern, we will address it together.
My quirks/ idiosyncrasies that you should know about- do not
position stuff with me, be honest, lay it out there…we will figure it
out together.
My Leadership Expectations
Quotes I Could Have Said Myself:
“If everyone is thinking alike, then someone
isn’t thinking.”
“Lead me, follow me or get the hell out of my
way.”
“Failure is an event, not a person.”
“Never tell people how to do things. Tell them
what you want done and they will surprise you
with their ingenuity.”
“The price of success is hard work, dedication
to the job at hand and the determination that
whether we win or lose, we have applied the
best of ourselves to the task at hand.”
What I believe…
There is work, then there is fulfilling work.
The kind of work that has your fingerprints all over it. The kind of work that
you’d never compromise on. That you’d put your heart and soul into and that
fulfills your spirit. The kind of work that makes a difference.
I want to do that work with my team.
Don’t join my team to play it safe. Don’t be afraid to take a risk, a leap, if you
believe it. Let’s swim in the deep end together.
Then, our work, your work will add up to something…Something big, something
that could not happen unless we made it so.
