Type A MUST get things done! They must crack the whip if Type A thinks B is wasting time. They will make sure EVERYONE arrives on time. They will make sure everyone is on task! They will not be liked. Type B will be well liked, but will not be respected. B is not a whip cracker. B will be taken advantage of their easy going nature. There will be no leadership.

All assignments must be done on time. Always arrive at work early. A natural leader. They do the best they possibly can and also encourage others to do the same. They are more analytical and look at the whole rather than just one part. They strive on a small amount of stress.

Type A's get things done; Type B's put things off, procrastinate until it's too late.
Type B's are easier to work with due to the way they respond to stress; they are also the target of Type A's frustrations, so I reocmmend that Type A's take a time out (take a walk around the parking lot, or find a place to calm down) before lashing out and scaring the poor little Type B's in the office. That's how you lose good employees.

Aggressive and competition gets you somewhere in the workplace. Shows that you are determined and responsible in getting things done. Type B doesn't prioritize and don't get things done in a focused and quick manner like Type A personality.

B personalities might be more well liked than A. People see them as less of a threat and might get along with them better. However I see the A personality as the people who get the work done. I prefer the A personality with some modifications.

having discrection as opposed to rigid policy and/or personal preferences. this is mostly in regard to people in management positions. my point is, every situation is different. unfortunately, some incompetent people are bull@#%t artists in an interview for a job they are not qualified for. They may feel, however that they are entitled anyway to this position. This is the "American Dream" i suppose, until they show up and start ordering more qualified people around. when the higher ups start to notice the incompetency, said type A starts to deflect blame down the chain of command. this happens way too often.

It's the opposite to what I am (A) I get very irritable when people come and go as they please...I can't change, it's the way I've always been. Give me a time and I will be there..thought this was the correct thing to do. Be punctual and responsible.
