Job description

Overview

You are proactive & impatient, but an amiable communicator. You are gifted at reading both people and situations effectively, priding yourself on your intuition. When faced with a difficult situation involving people, you have the ability to convert the unfriendly environment to a more civil atmosphere and influence others to cooperate. Those that know you would describe you as impatient, and mention that you can overwhelm others with your speedy delivery. While you sometimes move too quickly, you enjoy "spinning plates" and thrive in an environment with lots of moving parts. You find it difficult to delegate until trust is earned, and may "test" others until they\'ve proven their worthiness at a given task. You\'re a detail oriented perfectionist who gets the job done.
