Characteristics of Potential Note
- Equally focused on science/technology & emotions/relationships, respecting both as “first class citizens”, worthy of attention, development, and most importantly, integration.
- Skillful in "translating" between groups with different frameworks, assumptions, and idioms (e.g., engineering vs. marketing vs. hr).
- Insightful/inventive – particularly within the context of head-heart synergies, abstraction layers (forest vs. trees), and meta analysis.
- Careful, empathic listener, oriented towards collaboration vs. competition.
- Works best in environments in which time is allowed for quality work.
