CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT:
The most impactful characteristic of this trait is your ability to hold the vision. Your team benefits from your inclination to keep your eye on the prize and minimize or even eliminate any unnecessary distractions. Like all things in life, aligned integration is key… balance. If you spend too much time daydreaming in your own corner of the office, your agenda will be dictated by fantasy. Its essential that you keep a foot on the ground or everything that your colleagues say to you, you will (mis)interpret their efforts for collaboration because you’ve filtered what they said through your dreaminess.
If you are more extroverted with a nature that is reactive and externally expressive, this trait may present like a bundle of nervousness. Your coworkers or customers may experience you as being a little carried away and always seeming to be ahead of yourself. Your insatiable hunger causes you to jump the gun, landing you in more problems than promises.
