5 Keywords of ESTP in the Workplace

ESTP's 6 core workplace advantages

1. Action first, no delay or slumber

ESTP is a typical 'start now' player, don't expect them to finish 10 meetings before starting. They prefer: watch while doing, try and make mistakes quickly, and review immediately .

💡 Workplace keywords: Extreme execution and promotional talents

2. Extremely adaptable and can quickly integrate into any team

No matter what department or environment you change to, ESTP can always adapt quickly like a chameleon. They are not very picky about people or jobs - the point is: Are there any challenges? Is there room?

💡 Workplace keywords: job versatile, environmental adaptive

4. The greater the pressure, the more vigorous it is

Typical career paths suitable for ESTP

ESTP’s workplace challenges | What are the pitfalls that are easy to step on?

1. Lack of long-term planning and patience

I like the present and don’t look at the future very much. ESTP is better at 'fighting tough battles', but it is easy to be distracted or jump out of the way when facing continuous work (such as long-term projects, continuous maintenance, etc.).

2. Single emotional expression can easily hurt the team

ESTP does not understand 'tupright expression' very well and is accustomed to fast pace and straightforwardness. It may seem that 'emotional intelligence is insufficient' in team communication, especially when facing more emotionally oriented colleagues (such as INFP, ISFJ).

3. Resist to be managed and suffer from structured processes

The too detailed system and repeated and lengthy processes make ESTP feel depressed. They don’t like to be “arranged” and want to “give me space for me to do it.”

Growth Suggestions | How to Evolve from 'Crashman' to 'Commander'

• Learn strategic thinking : Don’t just solve the problems in front of you, but also think clearly about 'why do it and where to go after it'
• Strengthen emotional management : straightforwardness is the advantage, but learning to listen and empathize can make you more effective in leading the team
• Don't just pursue 'stimulation' : Sometimes repetition and stability are the chassis of success
• Supplement to refined management : Cooperate with a meticulous deputy, let you rush more stably and further

If you are the boss/colleague/HR of ESTP…

• Give them results-oriented tasks (do not directive)
• Allow them to independently plan the rhythm and method (don't 'stick to death')
• Let them 'rush' in a crisis, chaos, and need breakthroughs
• Give them a stage and they will surprise you

Summary: ESTP is the 'high-ignition executor' in the real workplace

They are not the most stable type of people, but they are often:

• The person who advances the plan the fastest;
• The person who can withstand the pressure the most;
• The person who best activates the rhythm of the team.

If you are an ESTP, please do not be restricted by the 'personality tag'. You are not just an actionist, but a strategyist - when you can combine execution with deep thinking, ESTP will become the absolute winner in the workplace.
