Why Fives are better leaders than Eights (offensive)

[machintruc]

Is E8 the prototypical "leading" type ? I don't think so. Besides, you know, many contemporary leaders are Fives.


E5 : not very sociable, but usually good company
E8 : unsociable

E5 : average EQ
E8 : low EQ

E5 : as D-, make sure obeying them is easy
E8 : subordinates may feel obeying them is hard

E5 : looks like a leader
E8 : doesn't look like a leader, but like a fucked up dictator

E5 : Fives are the shit
E8 : Eights are shit

E5 : builds power by building trust
E8 : builds power by intimidation

E5 : confronts when adequate
E8 : always confront, even if it's useless

E5 : efficient
E8 : conservative

E5 : deals easily with people they don't like
E8 : every person they don't like is an incompetent lying bastard

E5 : really "leads" subordinates
E8 : doesn't really lead subordinates : rather administrate them

E5 : able to tolerate violators for pragmatic reasons (e.g. Microsoft with illegal copies of Windows)
E8 : doesn't tolerate violators

E5 : less prone to racial discrimination (at worst, may make some racist joke once in a while)
E8 : more prone to racial discrimination

E5 : tolerates subordinates' misconducts, when light (because they aren't Nines...)
E8 : able to fire an employee even for arriving five minutes late

E5 : judge people by pragmatic criteria
E8 : judge people by their reputation

E5 : more prone to delegate (delegation is the shit)
E8 : less prone to delegate

E5 : unites subordinates in order to make them control themselves
E8 : divide subordinates in order to control them

E5 : prone to adopt new technologies
E8 : reluctant to new technologies

E5 : emotionally stable, with some exceptions such as 0+- LII
E8 : emotionally unstable

E5 : 83% of introverts, 17% of extroverts
E8 : 50% of introverts, 50% of extroverts, but even E8 extroverts are like "sub-extroverts", so they don't count

E5 : doesn't find normal that subordinates fear them
E8 : finds normal that subordinates fear them

E5 : management is a science
E8 : management is a power struggle, and I deserve all the power, of course

E5 : do it my way, if you don't find a better idea
E8 : do it my way, and shut the fuck up

E5 : good motivators
E8 : poor motivators

E5 : poor listeners, but try to make an effort
E8 : poor listeners, and don't give a fuckin' fuck

E5 : helps avoidant subordinates
E8 : takes advantage of avoidant subordinates, or fires them

E5 : not demanding
E8 : demanding

E5 : employees should work because it's as natural as play and rest
E8 : employees are lazy and irresponsible, and should be put under pressure in order to make them work

E5 : negociates
E8 : "negociating ? what the fuck does that mean ?"

E5 : less prone to abuse subordinates
E8 : more prone to abuse subordinates

[Satan]

Bake him some cookies then. Reward his bad behaviour.

[Creepy-Diana]

[Satan]

pshaw. what bad behavior? And I don't bake cookies for frenchmen.

He told me to go fuck myself. He deserves a beating.

[Creepy-Diana]

[Satan]

or maybe you're just too sensitive, he said it with grin ( ) after all.

He can still go fuck HIMSELF. I don't need that shit.

It's generally considered MORE rude to grin when you say something negative to someone.

Like:

(stands to side)

You think yourself that you're funny.

Let's just play a little game.

And then when people have already started a little game.

Then let's turn the tables.

And raise the stakes.

And then let's see who's grinning.

(stands to other side)

If I was to tell you in front of your family, you were a whore, and slept around, whilst grinning, would that make it okay?

It's a joke. Laugh.
