How To Manage

Self Image

Managing Miss Matiogi is by definition, firstly about communicating with her the way she wants to be communicated with, and secondly, understanding her key strengths and limitations.

Miss Matiogi is an individual who is demonstrative and independent and she likes meeting a diversity of people in a variety of environments/situations. She is socially competitive, verbal, persuasive and engaging. She possesses the skills to promote and "sell" the ideas, concepts and products of both herself and others in an optimistic and enthusiastic manner. Although she is seen as verbally pushy and opinionated, by nature she is not aggressive and will only antagonise others unintentionally. She relishes popularity, the "limelight" and will look for opportunities that will provide public recognition. By nature Miss Matiogi is not decisive and she especially hates making hard decisions which could eventuate in her being viewed in as unpopular. She disfavours work of a routine and/or repetitive nature and is careless with detail. Miss Matiogi is a proficient originator of projects, but has the tendency to leave the running, maintenance and completion to others. She could present herself as being more direct and authoritative than is in fact the case, because of her rebelliousness and verbal independence. Miss Matiogi is a survivor and although she does not like to be seen to lose, she will retreat in order to avoid conflict and to preserve a non-hostile atmosphere. She possesses high levels of work-energy, is of a quick pace, mobile, vigilant and variety-motivated. Miss Matiogi is skilful at presenting the "bigger picture" and developing optimism and enthusiasm in others.
