Dominant (D): Influential People

The section that caught my attention was the “Eight Major Personality Factors and Traits”. The list includes: Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Self-Monitoring, Risk taking and thrill seeking, and Optimism. I had never heard of these words until I read this chapter! I found that all of these traits correspond with ones personality and how they portray it. As I continued reading the chapter, it was interesting and fun to see that the author gave us readers some insight on how to deal with different personality types. Personally, my behavior that I portray depends on whom I am around. I like to think that I am very stubborn and have a strong personality, while still being able to “keep my cool” and staying calm. But sometimes behaving a certain way can be difficult if you are unsure of the atmosphere you are

Findings 1. Management Roles—Henry Minzberg Although theorists may define what managers should do, the reality of what they Assertive— people develop positive relationships with others, as they will try to consider other viewpoints as well as presenting their own viewpoint in a clear way. This can lead to better self-image and reduced stress.

There are times where I feel the need to dominate and lead the way such as when working with my dad in his apartment management company. I observe him overruling his tenants and exerting his power to put people in their place and follow the complex rules and regulations, and have somehow manifested those qualities into myself, like in example, if I am at work and he is not there then I do find myself to be quite dominating and exerting my power to get tenants to do what there suppose to do or pay their rent. I also find myself being dominating to people I know are weaker than me or just shy and not outspoken about their feelings. The other style that I was tied with is the conventional scale which measures my tendency to act in a conforming way. These tendencies are characterized by perceiving rules as a source of comfort and security. There is also a preference for staying unseen and unnoticed and a tendency to cover up my mistakes. There is also preoccupation with appearing to be average and just like everyone else. Additionally there is a reduction in originality which is very true for my behavior. These characteristics are also a bit contrary to my power and authoritarian style but somehow I find myself being shy as well as authoritarian in certain situations. I would have to say however that the conventional characteristic is one that I might have to disagree with because

There are many people that are influential in the world. Those people impact the world in a positive way by them being nice, donating things needed and making a difference.

There are four different types of personalities in my group: ESTJ, who is efficient, outgoing, analytical, systematic, and dependable. INFJ, who is Idealistic, organized, insightful, dependable, compassionate, and gentle. Also, an INTJ who is Innovative, independent, strategic, logical, reserved, and insightful. Then finally, ISTJ who is

To be influential means to be well known, well liked or even disliked, and having an impact on society. If someone is influential many people remember them or commemorate them for something they have accomplished or done. These influential individuals have strengths and weaknesses and are remembered for both.

When being a kid you change personalities a lot, but me I have not. I’ve been a ESTJ (extraverted, sensing, thinking, judging) person my whole life. I think being a ESTJ really describes me well. Being a ESTJ means you are a joiner, you also like being the authority, they are very out spoken people too. These things describe me perfectly. I love being in power, I also let people hear what's on my mind. I love joining in on things too.

Influential people are individuals who inspire many people to do your best, or worst. These people can be athletes, politics, or any song creator. First off, "A successful competition for me is always going out there and putting 100 percent into whatever I'm doing," Said Simone Biles. So, Simone is an extremely influential young lady because this girl never minds whether she is the best or not Simone mostly cares that she is putting in her best foot and going out there and just enjoying herself. Next, "I don't run away from the challenge because I'm afraid. Instead, I run toward it because the only way to escape fear is trample it beneath your feet." Now, that quote from Nadia Comaneci shows she is influential because this woman respects fear but chooses not to avoid it but to conquer it. Third, Nadia thinks that nothing should be able to get in your way if everyone is just fearless and brave. Last Jenny Simpson said, "You have to remember that no athlete at any level- whether that is a high schooler or an Olympian- figured it out overnight and you are not going to be the exception." In this quote, Jenny explains that no talent will happen overnight which in influential because she know that people need to work at something to achieve it. Overall, these three influential people inspire to

As a Dominant, I usually focus on results, problem-solving, and the bottom-line. It is a mixture of positive and negative aspects that helps me to keep up with my decisions and motivation to succeed in achieving what I want. However, I could be a little tempered and aggressive sometimes, but it is necessary to show strong in front of your employees. In compliance to the DiSC, (Sugerman, 2009, p151) I do not like the pressure and try to avoid difficult circumstances. Follow facts and rules are very important in my

Influential people inspire people to go on with life without all the negativity. Drake motivates people with his music by saying, “Everybody dies, but not everybody lives.” Usually, his lyrics have deep meaning, so you’d have to really think about his lyrics. He wants people to look deeper into his music so they really do get inspired. Will Smith is a very inspirational speaker, as he states, “If you are absent during my struggle, don’t expect to be present during my success.” As you can see, he shows deep meaning, just like Drake and he is very powerful with his words. “I swear my intentions aren’t as evil as you think, but my temptations can always push people to the brink,” words from G-eazy. Obviously, he is proving that what you do can

Influential people need specific characteristics to be an influential person. For example, determination is a trait that influential people need to have in their long list of character traits. Determination is not giving up when things get hard or when things are not going your way. Without determination Trudeau, Campbell, and Johnson-Sirleaf would have given up in the first difficulty that interrupted their goal. These influential people all had sucessful political careers. Pierre Elliott Trudeau was the 15th Prime Minister of Canada in 1968. Trudeau had determination to get his party back to the majority of the government. Trudeau did not give up, because he had determination he fought back. In 1980 Trudeau’s party was back in power, and

The leader of the Auto Industry, Henry Ford, showed many of these traits. Henry Ford is influential because of his accomplishments characteristics and his pivotal moments.

His nickname ‘Tiger’ was given him by his dad, in honor of his dad's South Vietnamese combat buddy, Nguyen Phong, who saved Tiger's father's life in the Vietnam War(Brantley). Tiger is an outstanding golfer. He has won over 79 PGA tour events, second most in history. “Tiger Woods set an amazing pro golf career in motion in 1997, when he became the youngest man and the first African American to win the U.S. Masters”(Biography).

Dominant Personality Traits. From a very young age, I have developed a personality which is aggressively involved “in a chronic, incessant struggle to achieve more and more in less and less time and, if necessary, against the opposing efforts of other things or other people” (Friedman, & Rosenman, 1974, p. 84), which I have come to discover, is known as a Type A personality. Having a Type A personality, I am constantly striving to do
