Coordinator
“True power is building something greater than yourself.”
Understanding the Coordinator
You think about people with the same seriousness that others reserve for strategy. You want communities to thrive, and you invest time and energy into creating conditions where growth feels natural and supported. You often become the quiet organizer who knows who needs help, who needs space, or which connection could strengthen the group. You feel most satisfied when your efforts help many people succeed together.
Dominant Driver
Green is the drive toward connection and organic growth. It shows up in people who think about how things and people fit together over time, who notice the emotional atmosphere in a room, and who care about whether a path feels alive rather than just impressive. This might be the person who tends to friendships like a garden, who values slow, steady progress, or who keeps an eye on whether everyone is actually okay beneath the surface. At its hardest moments, Green can avoid necessary conflict, stay too long in familiar situations, or bend itself around others until it’s not sure what it really wants anymore.
Auxiliary Driver
Black is the drive toward agency and effective achievement. It shows up in people who notice power dynamics, think in terms of trade-offs, and are willing to do what it takes to move from wishing to actually getting results. This might be the person who negotiates, sets clear personal goals, or quietly builds leverage instead of waiting for permission. At its hardest moments, Black can become suspicious, guarded, or calculating, afraid of being weak or dependent and struggling to fully trust that others will have their back.
Auxiliary Driver
White is the drive toward principled coherence and fair structure. It shows up in people who naturally organize plans, clarify expectations, and try to make sure everyone is treated consistently. At its best, White creates spaces where others feel safe, respected, and able to rely on shared agreements—whether that’s a project, a household, or a friend group. At its hardest moments, this drive can turn into anxiety about disorder, over-responsibility for other people’s behavior, or resentment when others ignore the rules you’re trying to uphold.
Strengths & Weaknesses
✓Strengths
- •Builds communities that are both caring and effective—results and relationships together
- •Sees long-term growth pathways for people and groups; you invest in potential others overlook
- •Combines empathy with strategic thinking; you care deeply and you plan carefully
- •Creates conditions for flourishing instead of just demanding results
⚠Weaknesses
- •Becomes subtly controlling in the name of care, steering people 'for their own good'

- •Struggles to accept paths that diverge from your vision, even when they're thriving
- •Cultivates people into what you think they should be instead of who they actually are
Path to Growth
Your strategic care can quietly slide into over-management. You might notice yourself steering someone's growth in a direction you chose, or feeling frustrated when people don't develop 'the right way.' Growth means designing the soil, not the stems. Trust that others will grow in ways that surprise you. Healthy communities evolve organically, not according to a master blueprint. When you let go of the outcomes and focus on creating conditions, people flourish in ways you couldn't have planned—and that's better than anything you could have scripted.

Relationship Dynamics
You show love by investing in others—time, energy, opportunities, resources. You want your partner to grow, and you work hard to create the right environment for that. But be mindful not to become the gardener who prunes too often. Healthy relationships require shared power, unpredictable evolution, and mutual influence. Let your partner shape you as much as you shape them.
Personal Growth Plan
Practice offering support that strengthens others’ autonomy rather than steering it. Focus on empowerment over optimization. Learn to receive without analysis—let others care for you in their own style. Celebrate forms of growth that emerge spontaneously, not just those that align with your strategy.
Communication Style
You communicate through support, opportunities, and practical help. People feel resourced around you. To grow, practice clearer transparency about your intentions, and ask more about what others actually want before offering direction. Build relationships where influence flows both ways and autonomy is honored.
