The ‘Creativity’ Challenger Types
The Irreverent Maverick and The Game-Changer are Challenger Types that typify CREATIVITY at PHD.
You have a healthy disrespect for the status quo, and thrive in organisations which allow you to challenge complacency, and live at the edges. You are sought after by people as an agent of change, and find it hard to be happy in an environment that has low tolerance for impatience, irreverence and an appetite for doing things your own way. You are not a lone wolf, though people sometimes read you that way; it’s just that sometimes you have to be a little provocative to help people see your point of view.
Your ambition is not to share a point here or there: you are looking for step change, and root-and- branch transformation. You challenge creeping incrementalism, someone who leans into a radical re-engineering of solutions — relishing the Finding a Better Way that comes from that level of rethinking. Working across different departments, and refusing to accept silos typifies a Game Changer; force of will as well as energetic leadership are essential to turn challenger ambitions here into success.
