A Plan for Positive Influence
Teamwork is necessary in all areas of business. According to an article in the North American Journal of Psychology, work teams are defined as “groups of individuals who have a common purpose, interact to accomplish organizational goals, and share responsibility for team outcomes” (Kline, 2008, p. 65).

The Go-Getter is indirect; however, this style is a great short-term planner. The Go-Getter style will be a great complement to the three Impressors. The Impressors tend to underestimate the time it takes to complete a project, whereas the Go-Getter is very strong at defining the timeline needed to complete the job successfully. Our emotional intelligence scores are all considered...
