Team Description: Driver

General Description A team with a Driver personality will tend to create activity and set the pace within the team's sphere of influence. This team has a strong desire to produce results, and has members who quickly take charge by defining goals and delegating tasks. This team is not afraid to take risks or impose its will on the larger organization through strong action in order to move ahead in its field of endeavor. Ideal Environment Teams with this profile function most effectively with opportunities to build, direct, develop, create, lead, conceptualize, decide, be in control, and initiate solutions. Typical Areas of Strength A Driver team will usually be bold, direct, confident, competitive, often pioneering, assertive, frank, independent, and responsive to new challenges. The team excels in productivity if given the freedom to define a direction focused on results. Typical Areas of Struggle Teams with a Driver profile will likely have members who may tend to be impatient, disagree with upper management directives if less than upper management themselves, be frustrated with details and routines, and may be difficult to supervise. Some members may tend to be impulsive, blunt, or overbearing. Preferred Activities To maximize the talents of this team, assign it to situations in which the team can have a high level of independence, with obstacles to overcome, challenges to meet and solve, and without many details to handle. Contributions to the Organization A team with a Driver profile tends to be results-oriented and is capable of seeing past the details to the big picture in most situations. To achieve the team objective, team members take charge in the organization, define goals, and create pressure to achieve results. Leadership Style Teams with this profile tend to assume authority quickly, setting the agenda for others according to the team's own priorities. This team will frequently exercise power in order to hold other teams accountable for meeting its goals. Task or People Orientation Since Driver teams place such a priority on seeing progress and results, relationships with other teams, coworkers, family, and friends may become secondary to meeting goals.

Communication Style Communication from this team is usually direct and may be forceful, getting to the bottom line quickly. As a result, other teams and individuals may see this team as demanding, impersonal, and dominating. Stress Factors Driver teams experience stress whenever they are unable to control their environment, especially their direction, purpose, goals, and activities. Financial Management Teams with this profile typically delegate the day-to-day tracking of cash flow. They agree with the logic and organization of accounting and budgets, but are distracted by repeated detail work. Budget and Financial Issues Teams with this style may tend to make impulsive financial decisions based on immediacy, without anticipating the consequences of their actions. They are less concerned with making the right decision, because they believe that they can make their decision right. Suggestions for Managers A team with a Driver profile will have several individuals with the same profile and others with similar profiles. It is likely to be excellent at being in charge of program or projects especially when given the opportunity to conceptualize solutions and be in control of the process. Teams of this type will be especially effective when the goal is clear but the specific process is not defined. Because members of this team are likely to be very competive, dispersing them physically on a day-to-day basis may allow them to be challenged and motivated to develop smaller teams and lead them to accomplish the goals. Persons in a Driver team will thrive in situations where they have has considerable autononmy to proceed and is given support and clear objectives. As this team's manager it will be important to keep the lines of communication open to insure that the program or project is on tract and to assure that the creative energy is well directed. This type of team is very accountable and will strive to meet deadlines, however, those in leadership of their own teams may need to be reminded that their team members work best with positive reinforcement and feedback on the reason for the pace of the operation.
