Management consulting giant Deloitte has drafted a classification system to enable firms to better comprehend personality types to further leverage such diversity. According to this classification, any team could comprise four kinds of people. They are Pioneers, Guardians, Drivers and Integrators. Pioneers are those who are extremely curious by nature, as a result of which embrace business innovation. Guardians are the opposite, as they do not prefer much disruption, but a kind of stability to existing processes. The former are more emotional and expressive while the latter are usually the reserved kind. Drivers are those that straddle the line in between these extremes. On the one hand, they possess the desire and passion of pioneers to take on new challenges, but on the other also comprehend the practical purposes behind guardians’ caution. The Integrators are the most diplomatic of all, connecting all disparate poles. They seek and bestow trust, thus focus on the bigger picture through empathetic a vision.
