People with this pairing derive real joy and energy from rallying others around worthwhile ideas and causes, and from providing the encouragement and assistance that helps people follow through. Warm, energetic, and deeply invested in the success of others, they have an almost instinctive ability to create momentum and maintain morale. Because they are so people-focused, they can sometimes overlook the strategic or analytical dimensions of a situation, and may struggle when the environment lacks the energy and engagement they thrive on.
