Eagles are symbols of power, leadership, and strength, often soaring high to generate new ideas and ways to do things, complemented with a determination to make them happen.
Eagles are natural entrepreneurs, using their creative problem-solving skills to take charge of situations and people easily. They like to focus on getting a task done to a high standard. They take great pride in their honesty and reliability and in return, prefer honest feedback to false compliments. They can appear confident and more mature than other people their age.
Natural roles for Eagles
Characteristics
Eagles thrive when they can lead and express their competence in a competitive environment. They also need a fast pace, organised and logical sequence of tasks.
When struggling they can be abrasive or lose interest. To get back on track provide clear challenges or a competition so they can shine. Also, work at a fast pace, as they are impatient with slow progress and procrastination.
Strengths
In a team Eagles will:
- Ask challenging questions, share ideas, and speak up.
- Suggest creative and new ideas and think about the whole project.
- Welcome and critique ideas from others that improve your group’s chances of success.
- Be organised, create, and stick to a schedule and roles for everyone.
Improvements
Things for Eagles to work on:
- Don’t interrupt others before they’ve finished. Encourage everyone to
contribute. - Explain your most imaginative ideas clearly in steps so others can
understand what you mean. - Don’t be bossy, others can be more sensitive to criticism than you.Remember to criticise the idea not the person.
- Don’t do everything yourself, teams work better when everyone
contributes.
