\"h\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are only four types of jobs. Too often, people get stuck in the wrong one. While all of the four work types are required in each phase of company growth, the mix needs to shift dramatically to successfully move on to the next higher level.\u00a0 Which one are you?<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Thinkers<\/strong>: these people are the idea generators, strategists, and creative types. They\u2019re at the front-end of the growth curve, and their work covers new products, new business ideas, and different ways of doing everyday things. Sometimes they get in the way once the company or projects begin to grow.<\/p>\n

Builders<\/strong>: these people take ideas from the Thinker and convert them into reality. Entrepreneurs, inventors, and turn-around executives are typical jobs that emphasize the Builder component. They thrive in rapid change situations, make decisions with incomplete information and can create some level of order out of chaos. They feel strangled in bigger organizations.<\/p>\n

Improvers<\/strong>: these are the people who take an existing project, process or team, organize it and make it better. In a fast-growing company they are charged with putting the wings on an airplane in flight. In a mature company they\u2019re the ones that need to implement major and minor change despite heavy resistance. They are typically under-appreciated, yet have an enormous impact on a company\u2019s long-term success.<\/p>\n

Producers<\/strong>: these are the people who execute a repeatable process, ensuring quality and delivery. They touch the customer every day in some way, whether it\u2019s designing a great product or manning the help desk. This work type becomes the foundation people use to build their careers as they take on bigger and more challenging assignments.<\/p>\n
