THE POWER OF READING PEOPLE

The Supporter (S)

The supporter thrives on forming deep connections and performs
optimally when given clear directives within a stable and predictable
setting. They bring a sense of dependability and dedication to their
role, valuing loyalty and showing commitment to their tasks.

Initially, the supporter might come off as cautious and introspective,
preferring to observe and understand others before engaging. Once
comfortable, they dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to their team,

often forming strong bonds within a close-knit circle, making them
an exceptional team member.

Public speaking, negotiating with new business contacts, or rep-
resenting at public events are not where their strengths lie. They
find rapid changes challenging and need ample time to adapt. Their
drive stems from routine, predictability, and tranquility. They stand
firm for their values and principles, advocating for what aligns with

their beliefs.
