THE DOER

This person is a safe pair of hands who is reliable and trustworthy and gets the job finished. They meet deadlines and they hit targets. You’ll see the Doers with a notebook in their hand and a few to-do lists on the go. They often have several spreadsheets to track details. They rarely stay still for long and the highlight of their day is ticking things off their list. They’re taken for granted – employers assume the Doer will be with the company for ever. What they do: They excel in conference and event management, they check orders meticulously before they are shipped and they make excellent personal assistants. Weak areas: The doer can over-obsess about every little detail and insist on carrying out every job by the rule book, determined that things are done in a particular order. They tend to be perfectionists and can end up stressed because they push themselves to do everything brilliantly. Although this makes them perfect for administrative jobs, they’re not good at coping with an emergency and thinking on their feet. They tend to be seen by their managers as operational people so they can get overlooked when promotions are handed out.
