Controllers - The Power to Control Everything

Controllers are typically people whom others perceive as a very active, independent, self-confident and results oriented kind of person. He or she may appear to be bossy at times or even disregard other people’s feelings when it comes to getting things done.

They are very forceful and strong willed and may tend to take charge of everything especially when they see a colleague, project partner or subordinate doing something wrong or slowly.

They usually appear rushed and will do anything to save time in the name of efficiency.
They also have very high standards and will be seen as very competent in getting the job done but may push people too hard and sometimes even wondering why those people don’t respond to orders or move too slowly.

Controllers also tend to lack patience when dealing with others. They don’t like repeating instructions and solving the same problem over and over again.

A controller’s need for personal success will also become counter productive as they limit their ability to work as a team with others because they will hoard all the task to themselves.

If you are a controller, your will be:

- Obsessed with efficiency and saving time
- Enjoys beating your opposition to the ground
- Measure the value of everything in results
- Gets along well with people who will comply with you
- Likes to find out what is the solution to getting things done
- Does things that gain immediate result
- Thrives best when given the freedom to make all the decisions
