Strivers
- They are motivated by professional success, and value status and compensation.
- They are forward planners who can be relatively risk averse, as they opt for well-trodden paths to success.
- Strivers are willing to tolerate less variety so long as it is in service of their longer-term goals.
- They tend to define success in relative terms, and thus can be more competitive and transactional in their relationships than most other archetypes.
Strengths: disciplined and transparent.
Weaknesses: their competitiveness can degrade trust and camaraderie within teams.
