Understand The Optimizer
-
A healthy work environment for Optimizers is one that provides detailed expectations and requirements, and where fine-tuning and attention-to-detail skills are primary. They thrive in organizations looking to improve, repair, or revamp their services and products.
-
Optimizers do not perform well in organizations where products and processes are not already established or where there is a lot of blank-slate work that needs to be done. They can feel lost and overwhelmed if not given defined expectations and clear direction from management.
-
Optimizers must be aware of their tendency to be overly strict or critical with company rules or standards to avoid discouraging or reprimanding co-workers. They also must recognize their need to fix something, as to not create problems where none exist.
-
If you are on a team with an Optimizer they will be analytical and can often be found in problem-solving mode. They continuously bring improvement and efficiency to every area they touch.

“As an Optimizer, I'm driven to make things better — processes, systems, outcomes. MCode helped me understand why I get frustrated when things are 'good enough' for everyone else but not for me. That awareness has made me a better leader and a more patient collaborator.
