3 types of people

One thing I have learned, among many, in working with people. It is easy to generalize, but I want to bring to your attention at least 3 diverse talents. I am not sure that I have ever seen 2 of the 3 in any one person.

Type 1 - the creative person. This person can visualize things that absolutely do not exist. It is often difficult for these persons to communicate theirs ideas to others and they rarely have the talent and/or desire to actually complete their creation. Many time they start the creation, but leave it before it is completed.

Type 2 - the problem solver. This person can take an incomplete product, perhaps one started by the Type 1 person, and "fix" it. That might include making a computer program run better, or an office to operate more efficiently. Once the "problem" is fixed, they are ready to move on to the next issue.

Type 3 - the maintainer. This person is never creative, and really is not very interested in fixing anything since "it should work" already. They do not like change. They make very good long time managers or assistants because they like routine and are never bored by it. They are, however, threatened by creative types and gladly yield problems over to the Type 2 person.

Isn't it wonderful that God put these skills into different persons?
