Parallel to most employees, there are a percentage of employees who possess specialist knowledge or who prefer tasks that must be solved individually. These employees will often have a Systemizer profile.
Individuals with a Systemizer profile are those characterised by a higher level of creativity, innovation, organisational talent or “out of the box thinking” than average and who can be challenging to work with or are themselves challenged professionally.
They often find their own way through systems. They are often direct in their professional messages, without considering how the recipients emotionally react to the message. A person with a Systemizer profile solves tasks in an intelligent way, which may not follow the usual instructions.
Those with a Systemizer profile may be attracted to repetitive work that is carried out through work routines, but can also be creative and spontaneous in their assigned tasks. For all such employees it applies that they want to have control over their work and need managers who support their work processes without interference. They simply make their own systems for almost all chores – socially, professionally, personally and relationally.
