Question No.1: Note on the 4C’s Model of Character Trait

4C’s Model helps in analyzing character trait of people of the business world. This
model is described in two dimensions. In 1st dimension, these are the people who
are interested in changing status quo (either to accomplish their dreams or
acquiring their results) versus people believe in maintaining status quo (either
through procedure or through affiliation). Those people come under 2nd dimension
who believe in working alone (either competitively or carefully) versus those people
who desire to work in a group (either maintaining status quo or changing).

Each of the 4 C’s is as follow:

1. Comptroller/Bureaucratic (audience 1)
