What are the work styles and personalities of Thomas Green and Frank Davis?
It is clear from the text that Thomas Green has some characteristics of a Machiavellian personality. For example, he has little regard for authority and structure, and prefers face-to-face interactions. Most importantly, once the ends cease to justify the means he loses motivation. This reaction is made evident when Thomas’s performance declined as a result of what he considered to be an unattainable goal. In his mind, failing to reach the goal regardless of how much he tried did not justify putting in the effort.
Meanwhile, Frank Davis portrayed elements of a Proactive personality. He was constantly vying for improvement in Thomas’ behavior, pushing for better strategies to meet his ambitious projections for the next year. Instead of shying away from the challenge, Frank strived for positive change within his team in order to achieve the goals he set.
How do the actions of Thomas Green differ from the expectations of Frank Davis?
Green’s actions are not in line with Davis’s expectations. Davis laid out his expectations of Green from the very beginning and reinforced them during their first performance meeting and email to McDonald such as spending time to prepare for client meetings and develop supporting details for his proposals.
