The Establisher

Reliable · Competent · Incredible

The side of us that strives to establish its own distinct identity — original and creative, unique and unrepeatable.

The gift

Productive, trailblazing

The shadow

Dominating, dramatic

The fear beneath it

Losing their distinct identity in the mediocrity of the group.

In your life

Establishers would rather risk losing connection than losing individuality. They choose their belongings and shape their environment to express a distinct identity — original and creative, though at times self-centred and status-seeking.

At work · APRO Dynamics

Establishers are hard-working, highly productive team players, and their drive and uniqueness makes them trailblazing leaders. But a fear of losing their sense of self by conforming to the group can have them be dominating — the drama queen or king of the office.
