* "As mentioned earlier, the four characters mentioned above are allegorical. The Adizes Methodology holds that under normal circumstances, all people are able to operate in all four management modes. However, we are naturally strongest in only one of the four styles, almost from birth. A secondary style develops as we mature, and by adulthood we are usually very capable in our second mode. A third style can be learned with more effort, and in our weakest style we can function but will almost always benefit from some help. Our accomplishments in our weakest mode will never be as swift, easy and natural as achievement in our dominant modes. Teaming up with someone whose style profile complements ours is the only way to address all four horizons of concern with equal competence. In order for this teaming up to work, we have to respect the different values and priorities of our complementary partners. Conflict is guaranteed, but mutual respect keeps it constructive " - Adizes Methodology (PAEI)
