Mostly A: Leader Confident and outgoing, leaders are decisive, authoritative and good team motivators. Needs to work on: Taking advice and criticism from others, and not feeling pressure to always get it right.
Mostly B: Implementer Implementers are great at turning ideas into realities and getting on with a project instead of just talking about it. Needs to work on: They can be impatient so implementers tend to make more mistakes than other team members.
Mostly C: Researcher Researchers are good communicators and are more methodical in their approach than other team members. Needs to work on: Maintaining a balance because they expend more energy with fewer results, and their enthusiasm can wane.
