Team Player

Embraces trust, humanity, and inclusiveness.

A Team Player's work culture resembles a family or a clan, close and based on trust and loyalty.

People with Team Player profiles believe in the power of collaboration and like to create workspaces where everybody feels welcome and included. They thrive when work is structured around teams rather than individual roles, and they feel more comfortable in horizontal organizations.

They prefer to work in spaces where the company communicates decisions openly and involves its members in them.

Team Player organizations see their customers and suppliers as partners and see benefits in alliances and joint ventures. They also assume as part of their mission to do good in the world and create a great work environment that draws out the best of their members by empowering them.

These organizations adapt to uncertain and changing situations by recurring to shared values and culture as a guide and a compass.

If your Team Player level is high, you will enjoy working in companies that default to transparency, where the exchange of ideas happens naturally, where victories and defeats are faced collectively as a group, and where no one is confined to competitive roles.

Venturer

Embraces change, innovation, and uncertainty.

The Venturer work culture is characterized by facing a changing environment with agility and prioritizes innovation as a response to the uncertain.

People with a Venturer profile thrive on chaos and are not intimidated by the lack of structure. They prefer to work in dynamic places that are highly tolerant to error and failure, where risk-taking and exploration are rewarded.

They take pride in being able to respond and adapt to the unknown quickly and "discover treasures" (insights, opportunities) along the way. They see technology as a way of accelerating and amplifying changes.

Venturer organizations tend to be young and are rich in energy and adrenaline. Unconventional career choices are rewarded. They won't hesitate to change radically course, scale, or rapidly contract if needed. The work culture is ruthlessly honest; nothing can stand in the way of looking for the truth.

If your level of Venturer is high, you will lean towards companies where you can learn and apply new technologies, where innovation and pioneering in the industry is a priority.

Hustler

Driven by winning and achieving.

The Hustler work culture is characterized by being productive, market-oriented, and highly competitive.

People with a Hustler profile are highly pragmatic and prefer workspaces where they focus on production, goal achievement and competitiveness. They seek to work in a company that is an industry leader or on the way to becoming one.

Hustlers enjoy beating their marks to achieve goals and understand success as overcoming challenges and beat obstacles. They are driven by opportunity and by the conviction that there's always more to gain.

At Hustler organizations, results and numbers reign supreme over theories and ideas. They are "outwards-looking" organizations — their priority is the interaction with customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders, continuously looking for ways of improving their position in the market. Hustlers enjoy competing to achieve goals.

If your Hustler level is high, you probably like working at challenging, high-performance companies, where business results are rewarded.

Commander

Values order, structure, and efficiency.

The Commander work culture is characterized by being formal, hierarchical, and with an efficiency-oriented structure.

People with a Commander profile look for workspaces where procedures and instructions to carry out their tasks are clear. They like to work with bosses who coordinate activities and where hierarchies exist, to know who to turn to when the situation calls for it. They are driven by being part of something big and powerful.

Commanders have more affinity with the predictable, and doing things right will be synonymous with following the organization's rules. Their definition of success means achieving stability and job security; it is better to have a secure job than to take risks in projects with an uncertain future.

Commander organizations like efficiency and envision their operation as a "well-oiled machine" that produces consistent results. Being respectful to the organization's tradition and the way things are said and done is highly valued as a way of preserving success and the "recipes" refined over the years.

If your Commander level is high, you will enjoy working in established companies or big corporations with a vertical structure and a high reputation.

Adapter

Looks for insights and new experiences.

People with an Adapter profile have a high level of work maturity and feel comfortable in different work spaces. They show a wide openness and willingness to absorb their cultures. This predisposition to learn from different work spaces means that people with an Adapter profile can recycle experiences learnt from a wide variety of organizations.

If you have a high Adapter level, you probably feel at ease in different kinds and lifecycle stages of organizations and the predominant cultural traits won't be a problem for you.

You are probably enthusiastic about looking for ways to enrich or complement the organization you are currently working in, with learnings gained in other organizations.

For the same reason, there is not necessarily an "ideal" type of organization for you; you will be able to adapt to various styles and cultures, depending on your professional and life stage. We recommend that you choose companies whose mission and approach to success reflect your values and priorities, i.e. projects that motivate and excite you.
