LEVEL IMAGE ORIENTATION
Personalities with a Level Image Orientation (LIO) may try to be all things to all people. Their desire to make quick decisions may be counterbalanced by an equal attempt to work with and through other people. LIOs may also attempt to accomplish all of their work while also trying to ensure quality. Their behavior may alternate between periods of furious activity and periods of overwhelming frustration. Clarifying what others expect in the work situation may help to resolve the attempt to be all things to all people.
LIOs may experience some ambiguity about themselves, flowing either from the present environment or from past experiences. Reinforcement of productive behavior and clarification of expectations tend to resolve the dilemma.
