Virtuosos are often much more liked by their colleagues than they would expect.
Their tasks do need to be hands-on though – if the items all start with “Come up with a strategy to.”, it’s probably better to find an Analyst type. Virtuoso personalities have a talent for conserving their energy for just such an occasion, and can tackle such a laundry list with surprising enthusiasm. Something that’s likely to make Virtuosos’ day is a random list of things that need to be fixed or dealt with. If their habits or methods come under criticism or are forced to change, Virtuosos can also be surprisingly mulish. Strict rules, guidelines and formal agreements make Virtuosos feel cramped and bored.
Relaxed and easy-going, people with the Virtuoso personality type are happy to stick around with surprising loyalty, as long as their employers and managers don’t try to force them to commit to anything that can’t be undone the next day. As subordinates, what Virtuosos crave most is a little wiggle room.
