Executive Teams Need Four Personalities: Which One Are You?<\/a><\/h1>\n

Adam Bryant\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the essential requirements for effective leadership is self-awareness, and that includes knowing your strengths and weaknesses, and understanding that you have to put together an executive team of people with complementary skills and personalities.<\/p>\n

But what are those roles? Paul Maritz, who’s had an impressive career at many tech firms, including VMware, shared his simple framework for executive teams in my\u00a0Corner Office<\/a>\u00a0interview with him. Here’s an excerpt:<\/p>\n

At the risk of oversimplifying, I think that in any great leadership team, you find at least four personalities, and you never find all four of those personalities in a single person.<\/p>\n

You need to have somebody who is a strategist or visionary, who sets the goals for where the organization needs to go.<\/p>\n

You need to have somebody who is the classic manager \u2014 somebody who takes care of the organization, in terms of making sure that everybody knows what they need to do and making sure that tasks are broken up into manageable actions and how they\u2019re going to be measured.<\/p>\n

You need a champion for the customer, because you are trying to translate your product into something that customers are going to pay for. So it\u2019s important to have somebody who empathizes and understands how customers will see it. I\u2019ve seen many endeavors fail because people weren\u2019t able to connect the strategy to the way the customers would see the issue.<\/p>\n

Then, lastly, you need the enforcer. You need somebody who says: \u201cWe\u2019ve stared at this issue long enough. We\u2019re not going to stare at it anymore. We\u2019re going to do something about it. We\u2019re going to make a decision. We\u2019re going to deal with whatever conflict we have.\u201d<\/p>\n

You very rarely find more than two of those personalities in one person. I\u2019ve never seen it. And really great teams are where you have a group of people who provide those functions and who respect each other and, equally importantly, both know who they are and who they are not. Often, I\u2019ve seen people get into trouble when they think they\u2019re the strategist and they\u2019re not, or they think they\u2019re the decision maker and they\u2019re not.<\/p>\n

You need a degree of humility and self-awareness. Really great teams have team members who know who they are and who they\u2019re not, and they know when to get out of the way and let the other team members make their contribution.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
