THE POWER OF READING PEOPLE

The Conductor (D)

The conductor’s behavioral style is defined by an unwavering focus
on goals and results. Performance is their metric, and ambition fuels
their drive, both professionally and personally. They’re skilled in set-
ting objectives and crafting strategies to hit their marks. Visionary in
approach, they consider the long-term impacts of their choices and
are known for their decisive nature. Efficiency is key for them—they
operate swiftly and under pressure, refusing to settle for anything
less than excellence.

However, the conductor’s relentless pursuit of success comes with
a tendency to overlook the emotional needs and feelings of others.
Compassion and empathy aren’t their strongest suits. They prefer to
lead rather than follow and may clash with authority figures when
their autonomy is challenged.

Driven by aspirations of influence, recognition, and financial suc-

cess, the conductor thrives when given the reins of decision-making.
The liberty to strategize independently and act on their own accord
directly correlates with their dedication and performance.
