What about Personality? pt 2 of 7 - Fire

Fire. What makes a personality a fire?

Exactly that - fire. This is that personality that we typically think of as firey. It is the person that sees a goal and will do everything he/she can possibly do to get that goal accomplished. Typically, a Fire will be the type that is a little louder, enjoys some confrontation, and excels in an organization as a leader, as a worker, or anywhere. But you can count on the Fire to continue to be promoted because once a goal is set, it will be accomplished.

Fires may not be the typical person that is incredibly organized. Often they will not have time for it.

I have met a lot of Fires in my life. I've been scared of some. I've learned a lot from some. Currently, I work for and with some Fires. I am surrounded by Fires because I am in a job where it is 100% commission. That is something that drives the Fire. Immediate success, immediate failure, immediate results. This is something that a Fire needs and wants. 

But it's easy to see the flaws in my current organization. Anything any organization is filled with the same personality is calls for disaster. Being that all of our managers, including our owner, is 100% Fire we see a lack of organization. We see many things changing from day to day without appropriate warning because it's gonna work better. We see a lack of good training. 

Fires are necessary in any organization. They will push everyone within an organization to get things done and to accomplish the goal at hand. They make great leaders as long as they understand that not everyone is like them. When Fires are able to do their thing an organization will skyrocket in all areas, but it may not last.
