The main concern for Supporters is the journey rather than the end destination. They believe the best way to reach great outputs is to focus on the people creating the inputs.

When collaborating, Supporters naturally become the champions of the ‘how’. They are great facilitators and put people at ease even in difficult situations.

Empathy and curiosity help Supporters step into the shoes of others, which enables them to appreciate an argument from opposing perspectives.

Supporters encourage Stimulators to be brave and keep generating ideas even when they are feeling uncertain.

Stimulators help Supporters ‘rally the troops’ by injecting energy and enthusiasm into the project journey.

Supporters are good at pointing out the value Spotters add to the journey, which can otherwise go unnoticed.

Spotters outline the principles and vision which Supporters can use as their compass when guiding the team.

Supporters are good at motivating Sculptors when things start to get detailed and opinions begin to differ.

Sculptors help Supporters manage ambiguity by making ideas tangible as early as possible within the project journey.

Supporters encourage Selectors whenever they are seen as the ‘bad guys’ who like to close things down.

Selectors make the task of the Supporter easier as their decisions give the team a sense of achievement and focus.
