There are five major roles that need to be fulfilled in any company. Instead of just roles, ideally, you actually have people in place who can carry each of these roles and own it (their role). Otherwise you just have a smaller number wearing multiple hats. The five major roles are:
- Organizer
- Doer
- Creative
- Consultant
- Salesman
Personality test can help in different ways. Basically, that's a way to find out potential strengths and weaknesses. We all have competencies and frustrations. That's part of the game and creates diversity. No one like to be put in a box - people are not one dimensional (one little box).
Over time, all of us do tend to trend towards certain ways, styles, and habits. Ideally, looking at different personalities, allows us to understand pros and cons of the different personality types. We on purpose want to bring all the talents and skills of our people and team to the table.
