ENTJs (Natural Leader)
1. Summary
ENTJs are natural leaders, they love to command others, they love to make plans and give directions for everyone. They incorporate many of the basic qualities of leaders: enthusiastic, visionary, objective, fair, serious and responsible. ENTJs with these qualities just don't want to be in power. Because they are resourceful, in most cases, others are happy to be at their disposal, and then gradually become dependent on them. ENTJs with a talent for leadership will never let their subordinates down.
2. Analysis
The ENTJ personality type makes up about 2% - 3% of the population, and it's easy to spot them in life because of their strong presence.
ENTJs are extroverted, warm and generous with others, and very active in social situations (E). When perceiving external things, they are particularly good at discerning and discovering connections and meanings between opportunities and things (N). They analyze the perceptions obtained very objectively and then form insights, strategies or complex systems (T) that drive the organization to achieve its goals. Because they have a high sense of responsibility, they will never be on paper and never let these insights, strategies or systems suddenly remain on the drawing board (J). ENTJs put plans into action.
3. Traits and characteristics
All NTs are sensitive to the system. As the most powerful type of NT, ENTJs want the entire system to evolve and operate in the way they think is correct. Therefore, they are very good at strategic thinking and global thinking, and they belong to a very visionary type. , can be said to be far-sighted. ENTJs are good at grasping the workings of the entire system, and then coordinating their own and others' work according to the priorities of things, so as to finally realize the vision that they foresee. And ENTJs have a strong ability to articulate their strategies, and they are very good at making others understand their vision for the future and what needs to be done to make it happen.
ENTJs prefer leadership positions that command the overall situation. From an early age, ENTJs feel a strong urge to control others and groups. In any organization, the ENTJ would like to be able to control the movement and operation of the organization, in an optimal way to achieve the organization's (or his own) goals. The ENTJ's talent for mobilizing others is inherently a strong hold over others, which allows them to often gather many people around them and often become the leader of a group without even knowing it.
What needs to be distinguished here is the ENTJ and the ESTJ. ESTJs and ENTJs are strong and both like to command others, so the two types will look very similar. However, we can still distinguish the two from the feature function. In comparison, the ESTJ's characteristic function is closer to management, while the ENTJ's characteristic function is closer to leadership, and the distinction between management and leadership can be applied to a well-known saying: management is " doing things right ", and leadership is " do the right thing ". For example, a group of lumberjacks are working together in the forest. The ESTJ will assign each person a task and supervise the implementation. If he sees a lazy person, he will be whipped a few times. The ENTJ is the one who climbed the tree. He is always thinking of “ Is it time to cut down this forest now, and if it is finished cutting down the forest below it... “Then he will stand on the tree and issue instructions to everyone... generally speaking, management is to focus and drive the car, and the leader looks up at the road. So although they also like to give orders, ESTJ's orders will have be more supervisional, ENTJ's orders will be more commanding, ENTJ's orders are mainly directional, not very specific, because their N's There is a tendency to think that specific details are not important.
ENTJs are also very good at dealing with interpersonal relationships. They can regard the interpersonal relationships around them as a dynamic system, and then they can quickly grasp the key points of the operation of this system, so that the entire interpersonal relationship network can move towards their own benefit.
The above qualities are indeed characteristics of a good leader, but most people agree that they apply only to men. The savvy ENTJ woman is always prone to ups and downs. Many of the compliments used to describe leaders, such as "in power," "dignified," "objective," when applied to women are understood to mean "showy" and “domineering." There are many other words that, when used in men, are praise, and when used in women, they become ridicule. But unlike men, ENTJ women are always in a dilemma: if she shows her enthusiasm for work, she will intimidate others present; if she suppresses her urge to act as a leader, she will be unwilling to act as a silent leader. Supporters become impatient and irritable. To resolve this dilemma, ENTJ women should maintain objectivity in difficult situations. At the same time, they need to realize that while many things seem personal, they are not. They should also strike a balance between femininity and natural leadership. They should understand that the two complement each other and that they can demonstrate both in their work. They should realize that their difficulties are nothing special and that every ENTJ, male or female, encounters these kinds of problems. While these recommendations are not a panacea, they are a good place to start.
ENTJs are energetic, outspoken strategists. They are quick and keen to spot opportunities and act immediately. They are willing to share their views with others without reservation. In their view, every objector has the opportunity to have a meaningful conversation so that problems can be solved and the organization can thrive. Since ENTJs are political animals and possess the qualities of politicians, in this communication process, different viewpoints are fairly spread out on the table, and consensus is reached through friendly consultation. It's an exciting process for ENTJs. They see everyday life as a chessboard on which people and things are constantly moving and busy for the benefit of the organization.
This objective and detached attitude allows the ENTJ to never get lost in any one thing while actively participating in many things. They engage in discussions or debates with passion and don't get sullen when they hear unpleasant things. People often accuse ENTJs of always speaking in a rage. This particular tone ostensibly reflects the enthusiasm and bluntness with which they express their views. In essence, the ENTJ is neither angry nor indifferent. They will be surprised and annoyed to hear such accusations. They can worry about the worries of others, but they will never let the pain of others affect them. ENTJs can put themselves in the shoes of others and listen to the tragic experiences of others, but soon turn to talking about irrelevant things, giving the impression of being indifferent and uncaring. The actual reason is not that ENTJs are ruthless, but because they think that since the problem has been addressed and "solved", the next problem should be discussed.
One of the strengths of ENTJs is their passion for dealing with complex matters. While they can sometimes complicate simple matters, their extraordinary ability to inspire and inspire others is rare indeed. ENTJs believe that the measure of success is not a person's popularity, but his achievements. As a result, they developed the notion that to make decisions that benefit the organization, there must be enemies. So they don't want to make mistakes in their own decisions, and sometimes they don't care about the feelings of others.
Another advantage of ENTJs is that they can combine insight into the future with a sense of adventure. Because such people are team animals at heart, they are innovators within the organization, not single-handed entrepreneurs. They do take risks, but they realize at least what they want to achieve. Single-handed entrepreneurs tend to be big gamblers—either win brilliantly or lose horribly. In contrast, ENTJs are more conservative, their success or failure will not be so extreme, and most of the relatively conservative large corporate cultures can accept such a risk-taking approach.
ENTJs take pride in working independently, they like independent, active-minded employee. They believe that the challenge should be bold and meaningful even if it fails. The problem is that not everyone likes to work independently and think freely, some people just like to do what others tell them to do; otherwise they will be at a loss. The psychology of these people is very frustrating for the ENTJ. For those who are unable to face the challenge, the ENTJ can lose patience and become manic and scary. If this mentality persists, it will even affect those who can rise to the challenge. Colleagues won't be able to bear the pressure, and they'll be terrified, not knowing that what they're doing will win the ENTJ's approval.
ENTJs have considerable difficulty expressing warmth, weakness, and helplessness. We know that everyone has a soft part in their heart, and it is a healthy performance to show their weakness and helplessness many times, but ENTJs are the kind of people who hold on to the end, and they will try to maintain their high attitude. With an independent personality, they are unwilling to be inferior to others. This actually causes ENTJs to often encounter many obstacles in their relationships, because in love and marriage, if a person always maintains a high status, it will definitely hinder emotional communication.
The greatest weakness
of ENTJs is their arrogance, impatience, and slowness. Because they are
strong in objectivity and like abstract thinking, most of them have a high
level of intelligence and knowledge, and can usually obtain quite high
attainments in academics. But they often despise those who are less
capable of learning and reasoning than themselves. Due to their
extroverted nature, they are always frank about what they think of
them. Their arrogant attitude can dampen the self-esteem of
subordinates, thus affecting employee morale and productivity.
