determined, visionary, persuasive, autocratic, authoritative
Career-conscious, confident people convince others and achieve their goals. If necessary, they will stand up to any resistance because they are absolutely convinced of their cause. Sovereign characters love unambiguous and clear communication, score points with determination and have the foresight to seek what has not yet been achieved. They separate the important from the unimportant very clearly and feel comfortable at the top of a hierarchical structure, because performance is measurable for them.
Sovereigns work well under pressure and prefer an ever-changing environment, so they are not tied to fixed workplaces. However, changes in the workplace must be comprehensible to them; they rarely follow stupid instructions. With their confidence and clear expression, these personalities not only impress employees but also customers, clients or people who are supposed to implement their new ideas with them. They enjoy healthy competition and work unwaveringly and energetically towards a clear goal.
Confident people love applause and proudly present their success to the outside world, clearly visible to others. They set a consistent direction and, if necessary, work towards their goals on their own.
In a team, they like to be the advocate diaboli and help others to understand issues from the other side's perspective. Sovereign people prefer strong leaders and override weaker bosses if they do not share their views and do not recognize their instructions as being effective. This type is therefore not always able to subordinate themselves well or integrate themselves into teams.
As leaders, sovereigns are always breaking new ground, venturing into unexplored territory and realizing their visions together with a determined team. They can inspire and delegate very well, and their clear instructions are easy to implement.
Slowness: Sovereign people are fast workers; a deliberate, step-by-step approach to solutions is out of the question for them, because they want to secure their successes as quickly as possible.
Flat hierarchy: They are used to working in hierarchical structures, questioning instructions and giving orders. They work in systems of rewards and reprimands.
Submissiveness: For sovereign characters, every change has to make sense. Before they subordinate themselves, they seek a clear confrontation.
Losing: Sovereign characters, focused on success and profit, fight relentlessly for their victory.
Sovereigns clearly seek confrontation and use it to make their goals even clearer in discussions with their opponents. They choose a tough and unyielding course of confrontation, always putting their goals first. They are clearly driven by success and fight for it with all means at their disposal, working hard to push their opponents into a corner. If they do lose out, they set off in search of another (working) area in which they can excel better. Success counts!
- Rethink your autocratic management style.
- Understanding those people who work well for you is important for their motivation.
- You can use other people's arguments as an advantage to achieve your goals.
- People like to cooperate and also like to take responsibility in their area. Self-determination, as you know, is a good breeding ground for successful work.
