Positive Default Modes

In response to my previous post, Frederic Casagrande, fellow blogger and project management guru, has asked for some examples of positive default modes. Here goes:


The Careful Listener
Operative style: Listens for what is meant, not just what is said.
General reputation: Caring and respectful. Intense.



The Brainstormer
Operative style: Regards having only three options as a sign of the braindead.
General reputation: Sometimes a little crazy but highly creative.



The Mover
Operative style: Knows when to shut down analysis and take meaningful action. Never confuses the two stages.
General reputation: A thinker and a doer.



The Includer
Operative style: Breaks out of the usual information chain and gets thoughts from all levels.
General reputation: A trend and trouble-spotter.
