PATTERN E (Level Pattern*)

Some characterizations from clients and co-workers:

• Fair & Diplomatic


• Democratic in Approach


• Flexible


• Good Facilitator—Leads by Consensus


• Chameleon


• Can't Tell Where They Really Stand

The perceptions of the level-pattern personality are those of a person who is a fair (not opinionated) listener and flexible observer. This person has the ability to play many roles, which is often necessary in a management scenario.

The downside to these perceptions is that the level-pattern personality is often seen by clients as changing too easily, hard to predict and lacking identity. Advisers with a level pattern personality are facilitative and diplomatic in nature, and try to relate to all types without being extreme themselves.
