The Closer
Energy peaks at Evaluating and Finishing.
A sample curve. People with this type share where their top two peaks sit; how high they go, and the shape of the rest, varies person to person.
You judge what matters most and then you drive it to done. You are the person who protects a team from wasted effort, cutting the low-value work and making sure the high-value work actually crosses the line. You hold a high standard and you are willing to do the unglamorous final stretch to meet it. You feel the weight of things not getting finished, and that weight is exactly what makes you reliable.
At their best
You reliably land the right priorities. You separate what matters from what does not and then see the important things through to completion, so the team's effort consistently turns into finished results rather than good intentions.
Watch out
The same standards that make you dependable can curdle into anxiety about failure and impatience with people who care less than you do. Not everything deserves your full intensity, and not everyone is letting the team down just because they work differently. Choose where to spend your relentlessness, and let some things be good enough.
