Are you a manager of a person with a Systemizer profile?

You have repeatedly had good employees in your office who are very frustrated or sad. Too often you hear that they cannot work with a particular colleague because it is almost impossible to cooperate.

You have tried many different solutions. You have moved the employee around, you have given them their own office, you have given them certain tasks they can solve by themselves so they need not collaborate too much with the others on the team. But nonetheless conflicts occur constantly and situations where you have to get involved. It is as if your employee cannot see the effect their words and actions have on other people and it creates particular challenges for you as a manager.

Training, coaching and more training, personal interviews and tips just have not worked as you had hoped, so now you do not quite know what to do. On the one hand it is almost too difficult to maintain this employee on the staff. On the other hand they consistently deliver results and there is an energy and wealth of ideas about them that is valuable and that you hate to do without. They simply have something that the others do not have.

It can also be a little fascinating to meet with this employee. The way they think, the ideas and innovation that happen, the aplomb and confidence in their ideas, is contagious. And often this is simple to understand and creates good results. But it is also a bit challenging because they are not really ready to listen to others and would like to have everyone go along with their idea.

If you recognise the description, then you might be the manager of someone with a Systemizer profile.
