Questioners question all expectations, and they respond to an expectation only if they conclude that it makes sense—in essence, they meet only inner expectations.
They meet other peoples’ expectations easily, but struggle with their own. The must be held accountable by a friend, coach or boss to get things done.
Upholders meet inner and outer expectations. They love rules, having a clear plan and are self-motivated and disciplined. Clearly tell them what needs to be done and they’ll lead the way
