28 The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

29 First Born Great leadership ability, but may be seen as over bearing or overly assertive Perfectionism may cause frustration on the part of the subordinates; cant meet high expectations Need for organization may be viewed as inflexible; may miss seeing the big picture

30 First Born Getting organized may get in the way of DOING things Being logical may come across as being self-righteous Making lists may get a lot done, assuming there are followers who will actually do the work Being a cheerleader may be annoying to some

31 First Born Sharks will eat you alive; If you stick your neck out, someone will gladly chop it off and deliver it on a platter You will have your own cheering section- YOU DO IT! Go ahead! Were behind you all the way!

32 Only Child Confidence may be viewed as cockiness Serious nature may be seen as uptight Perfectionism will get the job done right the first time and might be envied by those who cant meet those standards Inability to see both points of view may cause some tensions

33 Only Child Intense thinkers may be able to analyze a situation, but it may be from a solitary point of view Strong motivation may cause others to become frustrated with the strong drive

34 Middle Child Friendly relationships are important, but may get in the way of using good or fair judgment Putting oneself in the middle of dissention could cause the mediator to get burned Peace at any price might cause some to take advantage

35 Middle Child Independence may be construed as being cold or aloof Independent thinking may be construed as arrogance or stubbornness Unspoiled may mean intolerance for those who HAVE been spoiled

36 Last Born Charming may be construed as manipulative or flaky Affectionate may be construed as gullible Attention seeking may be construed as self-centered and spoiled, and undisciplined

37 The Synergistic Effect Having opposite personalities in a kitchen really does work!
