Initiator participant type

Meeting participants who suggest or propose new ideas, different ways to perceive problems or goals or new forms of procedure or organization for the group to follow. They tend to be serious-minded but individualistic and unorthodox.[Advantages]

The introduction of new imagination, intellect, knowledge and even at times, genius.

[Disadvantages]

Inclined to disregard practical details and protocol, can be impatient with those slow to grasp what they are communicating. Liable to lose interest quickly once the proposal is adopted, leaving it to others to follow through.
