Over the past few months, I've had the opportunity to work with a number of people who would probably classify themselves as Type A personalities. According to Wikipedia, Type A's can be described as high-achieving workaholics who multi-task, drive
themselves with deadlines, and are unhappy about delays. Because of
these characteristics, Type A individuals are often described as stress
junkies."
I think it would be fair to say that type A personalities are driven to achieve results. They are not driven to go on a journey with no marked path; a journey of indeterminate length and with an unknown destination or outcome.
I believe their need for outcomes and instant results makes it more challenging for them to undertake the life-long journey of rediscovering who we are and how we can be of service to the broader community, which will bring meaning and fulfillment to their lives.
What do you think? I'd love to hear.
All the very best
Suzanne
