What an Enterprising-first result looks like
Persuaders love momentum. Leading a team, pitching an idea, closing a deal or starting something from nothing gives you a buzz that routine work never will. You are comfortable taking risks, making calls with incomplete information and putting your name on the result. Competition and targets tend to motivate you rather than scare you. People notice your confidence and your ability to rally others around a plan. You see opportunities where others see obstacles, and you like being where decisions get made. Business, sales, management, law, marketing and entrepreneurship fit naturally. The best work for you has clear goals, real influence, room to grow fast and someone keeping score.
