Team Roles
Team Leader
As a team leader, you tend to slip into leadership roles, and you gain energy from the responsibility. You might be a team leader because you have high ambitions or because you feel responsible for those around you. You can be a democratic leader who enjoys collaboration or a decisive and goal-driven visionary. These nuances are coloured by the rest of your profile, but you’ll always thrive best in a leadership role.
Team Player
As a team player, you’re at your best when you’re part of a team, as one of a group of equals. You might enjoy being a team player because you’re flexible, and enjoy companionship, because you like the rush of winning as a team, or because you like having shared responsibility. The best career for you will be determined by the rest of your profile, but you’ll usually prefer working in a team.
Individual Contributor
As an individual contributor, you thrive best when working independently. You might enjoy contributing to team outputs from the sidelines or prefer to gain a competitive edge by working independently. You might concentrate best when you work by yourself, or have personal goals you want to achieve. Your ideal career will also depend on the rest of your profile, but you’ll be best suited to jobs that allow you to work mostly on your own.
