• TRANSACTIONAL PERSONALITY

    Producer

    Alliances & Requests

Superpower

Producers tend to be short term and objective in their thinking and are highly work-oriented doers.

Kryptonite

Producers tend to halt transactions with premature or unnecessary doing and may avoid/dismiss completion and flexibility.

Worldview

Your philosophy of life or concept of the world—the overarching context for “how things are.”

OBJECTIVISM
The tendency to lay stress on what is external to or independent of the mind. External things are what they are (regardless of our subjective opinion).

REALISM
The attitude or practice of accepting a situation as it is and being prepared to deal with it accordingly.

NARRATIVE: LABOR, WORK, AND ACTION
In the transaction, the Producer takes commitments into labor, work, and action producing the results or consequences of that transaction.

INTER-ACTIONAL
Views life as cause and effect; you get something done by acting to move that thing by work, force or determination.

Superpower

The value (superpower) you bring to others or yourself, in exchanges or transactions.

ALLIANCE & FORCE
Can coordinate action, produce work, and delegate tasks.

THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE
Typically can (and must) see how the next 30-90 days will go; as such, they are great at implementing tactics.

DETERMINED, AUSTERE, RIGOROUS
They are often in the mood to get things done. Period.

POSITIVE-ISH MOODS
The glass is half-full for some possibilities (although not all possibilities).

Kryptonite

The cost (kryptonite) you are to others or yourself, in exchanges or transactions.

BEING INCLUDED
If not included, Producers won't fare well. You'll find a way to begin your plan of gossip and sabotage.

CAN SEEM NEGATIVE
Just because you want to move everything from an idea to a "to-do list" doesn't mean others are ready for that. Requests for action can, for others, be seen as a negative mood.

IRRITATION / BELIGERANCE
When things are inconsistent (or you're not included), watch out. Your irritation will quickly grow into outright belligerence.

SEE OTHERS AS LOYAL OR TRAITORS
Producers are often loyal to a fault. If others aren't pulling their own weight or demonstrating loyalty, they're traitors. Being too loyal sometimes costs the Producer whole-life satisfaction.
