You have a positive, can-do attitude with a development mindset to drive progress. You are a true people person who enjoys teamwork and networking, and even thrives on occasional resistance. At month-end, you become a focused, detail-oriented number cruncher who can work independently. You should have your priorities straight and know when to say no, as there will be a queue of people waiting for your wisdom. Even though you have a great team to support you, you need to be an independent decision-maker and a creative problem solver.
