Sample survey comments:

“I’m collaborative with people who want to be a team, but competitive with those who want to compete. It doesn’t matter whether it is a man or a woman. I’m not the initiator, but I will not back down if they want to compete.”

“I have been told that I intimidate other leaders due to my background, professionalism and successes.”

“I like to stay busy but I wouldn’t call this restless. That is when I’m most at ease.”

Possible negative internal factors and behaviors from Theme #3 Driven by a need for recognition based on performance:

May overlook and even allow discrimination to continue
Appearing insensitive to other people’s needs, desires and solutions
Reacting harshly to criticism
Mistaking their intimidating behaviors for persuasiveness
Holding people to a standard they create without tolerance for differences
Being susceptible to impulsive decision-making and burnout
When disagreeing with others, coming across as argumentative, obstinate and blunt and then justifying their behavior
Not really listening
