This style prefers and supports traditional views, but nonetheless brings a healthy sense of realism to any group. This person's sense of caution and balance can help keep the group from making risky decisions. The Analyzer is a perfectionist and the one who will guarantee accuracy and high-quality standards. He or she is predominantly a rational thinker. They are generally very committed to any task undertaken and conscientious about carrying out assignments that involve quality detail work.
Research shows that all four of the styles make equally effective leaders.
But all four are not effective in every situation. For example, I recently profiled an executive team in a software company. The CFO was an Analyzer. Their current customers rated them very low in service. As a result, they changed their hiring and screening process to identify more customer-oriented candidates.
