Meticulously dressed in his crisp attire, Charles entered his office much before the scheduled working time as he wanted to run through his presentation and confirm its duration once again. He had called a meeting of his department colleagues to discuss the performance of Q-1 of the year, analyze the same and plan out the targets and strategies for the second quarter. He looked at the charts hung on the wall of his office with satisfaction. These charts were depicting their performance in a graphical fashion. Knowing his punctuality and perfectionism, Charles’s Secretary Vandana had also come early to office. She checked up seating arrangement for the meeting and also confirmed about timely delivery of coffee and cold drinks with cafeteria manager.
Charles was self contained team leader. His office was always clean and tidy, table well organized and the desk items arranged in a fixed order. There was no excess of furniture or any other item. It was designed for working. Seating arrangement was formal and non-contact.
Charles had analytic working style, so his priority was logic and working out details of the processes. He believed in timely planning as he would hate to handle surprises and unpredictability. Persons having this working style are slow and steady and like to be prepared, precise and correct. They would like to have facts, details and documents as they consider precision, accuracy and specific concern about what is right rather than who is right. Even if 10% of the work force in public sector undertakings has this style of functioning, things would be so much nicer.
