Drivers are characteristic ways of behaving which are usually strengths but may become weaknesses under stress. As change is stressful, drivers tend to creep in to action plans:
- Hurry up: rush and overlook significant areas (may delay until urgent)
- Be perfect: first time but takes to long so never finish
- Please people: without asking – worried to get it wrong/upset people
- Try hard: something new – but not succeeding or finishing
- Be strong: must cope – stiff upper lip, avoid own shortcomings, can’t admit weakness
