What is your primary role in the workplace: Idea Generator, Coordinator, or Executor?

Usually, all people who work in a team can be conditionally divided into categories. These are, an idea generator, a coordinator and a performer – each of these, of course, has own specifics. For example, idea generators are innovators and inventors; therefore their key feature is creativity. They invent ideas that grow into the majority of developments and projects. Idea generators usually prefer to work independently, separating themselves from other team members and using their imagination. They often tend to be introverts, react sharply both to criticism and to praise. Often the ideas are radical, and they lack a practical effort. These are independent, intelligent and original people who, however, may be weak in communicating with people of a different level or path.

The characteristic feature of the coordinators is the ability to make other people work on required goals. A mature, experienced, confident coordinator, as a rule, willingly issues tasks. In interpersonal relationships, they quickly disclose individual inclinations and talents and use them wisely to achieve team goals. These are people with a broad mindset and experience who enjoy the overall respect of the team.

The performers have a practical common sense and a good sense of self-control and discipline. They are prone to continuous, systematic work and problem solving on a regular basis. To a large extent, performers are typical people whose loyalty and interest coincide with the values of the company.
