The results pretty accurately gauge my management orientation. I was a High C (conscientiousness) and a Low S (Steadiness). Some characteristics from C that I see myself in are concentrating on key details, weighing pros and cons, checking for accuracy, using policies only as guidelines, stating unpopular positions, clearly defining performance expectations, and controlling over those factors that affect my performance. And from characteristics of S, I see myself in performing in consistent, predictable manner, desiring to help others, being a good listener, showing loyalty, and working at a predictable routine. There are a few from both lists such as making quick decision and reacting quickly to unexpected change are something I don’t manage well.
I wish I could have some of the characteristics from D, because Type D seemed more like a leader and has qualities of being a leader. They initiate a cause, accept challenges, take authority, and solve problems. They are the one that lead people in many cases, and they are optimistic about the matters.
I think it is helpful to determine people’s management type to better understand them and also establish a better personal relation. It is an easy test to have an overview of how the person is―whether this person can work well with others, lead others in a team project, or being a good listener, and get work done routinely. Furthermore, this test enhances our own understanding of ourselves. It classifies our behaviors and offers a range of both positive and negative descriptions of us. In this case, I know that when I interact with another C, we will have more in common and thus infer that we may be working well.

To be dominance is hard, especially if we care about our surrounding. A leader have to make decision in a matter of a second. So, the process of pros and cons is between a mil. of a second. In fact, they don't have the time to negotiate withe employees, so they give others a feeling of "hard to deal with", also "unreasonable". But those are all because they have their own goals. On the other hand, a leader is unlike a manager, who takes the time to negotiate with the employee and think of their concerns and needs. So, there are pros and cons of a manager and a leader. I believe, we have the leadership skills in us, it just depend on what we are facing, that determines rather we should show our leadership skills.
