About me

"Neil can work effectively at co-ordinating the efforts of a team to produce a high quality product. His main concern will be to keep a close eye on all aspects of a project to ensure that targets of time and quality are met. He will not only work towards these objectives on his own, but also instil in others a sense of urgency about a task and provide backup for possible carelessness or lack of effort in the team as a whole. As a team member/team leader he is likely to operate in a democratic and participative manner which helps get the best effort from others. However, when pressured he may have a tendency to over-supervise and interfere with colleagues' areas of responsibility, thus becoming less effective. Hence, his ability to produce results may depend on the extent to which he can give priority to the overall objective of a project and delegate responsibility to others, instead of getting stuck in the fine detail. Overall, he should prove to be an able manager who can motivate a team effort to work to a high standard"
