Make you Team the Best

Making your Team the Best


I was going through some videos on simple techniques to categorize corporate employees. I came up with Amazing concept of categorizing employees through a framework called BEST. 

B - Bold

E - Expressive

S - Sympathetic

T - Technician 

Know your BEST

Bold category of people are highly charismatic and are keen on decision making. They take bold decisions and are clever in driving to achieve goals and objectives. Their are likely to be perceived as constructively impatient or tireless. 

Expressive people are excellent communicators with excellent imagination skills. They are deep thinkers and does not take things for granted.  They walk the talk with in depth understanding. They have significant skill to effectively communicate their thoughts. And expressive are seen as visionary people

Sympathetic people are social workers. They are sensitive to others needs and wants and often are perceived as excellent team players. Technicians are high logical thinkers, they spend more time in mastering rationale and relationships between action and cause which makes them master technicians. They are often seen as a highly intellectual set of group.

BEST Sent for Shooting


One of the interesting ways of understanding this classification of people is defining them through a Pistol Shot training. A Technician would spend hours studying about the correct technique for shooting, they will know the correct angle of shooting, how to hold the gun correctly and all the correct techniques of shooting. 

While Expressive category will come to Pistol Shooting training without attempting they will talk about Pistol Shooting without trying as if they are already masters, and in no time everyone at the training will be listening to the expressive category following their views. Sympathetic category will come and try to help others on how to practice shooting skills. 

Bold category will come and start shooting and then they will start aiming. Bold category are action driven, always want to do something. Always keen on decision making. Bold category wants others to follow them, they want to drive the decisions. 

Correct Equation


If you are forming a team of four people and you put four Bold you will end up making it a battle field. You put four technicians together in the team you will end up with an accounting firm or an investment analysis firm. Thus you should understand the potential of each category in building up the BEST team.
