ESTJ (Responsible type)This section will explain leadership.

The following is a quote (with some modifications) from "Let's Look at the World from the Perspective of MBTI Personality Type Theory" (website no longer exists).

Especially in their younger years, many people tend to be interested in fields that allow them to utilize rational thinking and practical knowledge, such as mechanics, engineering, computers, or business management.

ESTJs desire both being led and leading others. They value achievement and results. They strive to be competent themselves and work hard to gain recognition. They feel most comfortable under the strict discipline of the military.

Even if you initially choose a job that allows you to utilize your individual abilities, as you gradually learn the ropes, gain experience and knowledge, you may eventually be entrusted with a position where you can make use of your management skills.

When given a significant career opportunity, they are eager to achieve it. They are good at highlighting their achievements and efforts, understand and follow organizational rules well, and respect their superiors, so they often advance smoothly in their careers.

In that case, you'll most likely be in a position to manage the progress of the group's work by relaying orders from above.

We are committed to creating a safe and comfortable working environment.

We plan and allocate funds, materials, and labor systematically, considering the tasks required at each stage of the project, and oversee their efficient use.

I expect immediate results and cannot tolerate inefficiency or slow work. My demands are high, and I will criticize directly and without hesitation if the standards are not met.

Because I tend to be impatient, it might take me some time to accept that it takes a certain amount of time to achieve results.

I want everyone to understand their role and position within their jurisdiction and to work in a disciplined manner. I won't forcibly reject things that can only be determined by trying them, but I will take a firm stance against actions that disrupt discipline or are irrational.

Frank criticism is necessary to protect the safety and interests of organizations and people. By doing so, we can avoid danger, prevent the repetition of mistakes, and proceed with plans while maintaining order.

I don't usually praise people very often. I might, however, offer renewed praise to someone who works diligently or who has made a significant contribution to achieving a goal.

Because you frequently create opportunities to meet people, you may gain new collaborators or acquire new work. However, at the same time, you may take on new responsibilities and end up taking on many things without time to think things through. You excel at handling many things simultaneously, but when you exceed your limits, you may forget what you really need to do, becoming less involved in everything or leaving things to others.

If you don't regularly acknowledge and appreciate the work of others, you won't be able to maintain harmonious relationships, and you might face blatant or insidious retaliation. You need to be careful to prevent this from becoming fatal.

While it's good to be passionate about your work, sometimes you need to listen to others and reflect on the true value of your project. Doing so can form the foundation for your own strong motivation.
