ESTJs are practical, proactive, highly organized, and purposeful people who have strong life beliefs and try to live up to their high standards. They choose an active activity aimed at interacting with people. They value tradition, order, and stability.
ESTJs usually excel at organizing and managing people and often hold leadership positions. Demanding of themselves, they are also critical of others. First of all, they are focused on the task, so they are not always careful enough with the feelings of others and may even seem aggressive.
Before starting a new project, Managers usually carefully collect information, logically process the data obtained, and plan step-by-step activities based on the compiled picture. When making decisions, they take into account their past experience, use the experience of other people, and value concrete tangible evidence. ESTJs will not speculate on the situation but always rely on the facts.
They are much less interested in abstract theory than in practical activity. They prefer to set a specific goal and get a tangible result. It is very important for ESTJs to meet deadlines. They often make decisions that contribute to the rapid completion of the project so that they can put an end to it and move on to the next task. This mode of action is also their adaptive response to unexpected changes.

What will be useful for ESTJ to learn:
Tolerance. Managers become impatient and inflexible when their opinions are not listened to. They are overly critical of those who do not strive to achieve high standards in their work and do not work as effectively as ESTJs.
Openness to new experiences. Managers are opposed to change and innovation. They prefer to act in a proven way and resist change if they do not see it as a practical benefit and value. ESTJs use well-established schemes and hardly change them to new ones.
Strategic thinking. Often they are not ready to consider the situation in general or to explore additional opportunities that are not immediately obvious. They focus on operational efficiency, without paying attention to strategy and the relationship of processes.
Emotional intelligence. For ESTJs, it is difficult to understand the feelings and needs of other people. They focus on processes and tasks, not people. They can easily offend and hurt the feelings of another person.
The ability to delegate. ESTJs like to keep an eye on things. They control situations and other people. However, excessive control may cause rejection. It is also difficult for them to relax and trust other people.
Stop overly controlling people. Managers tend to monitor their subordinates, not giving them the right to independence. In addition, they do not give freedom to close people, which can cause negative reactions and spoil relationships.
Don't pick on minor details. ESTJs are perfectionists — they are extremely negative about any shortcomings and can punish them. However, they need to understand that people are not computers, and they tend to make mistakes.
