The Caring Provider
Overview
ESFJs seek to develop harmony in relationships and promote cooperation and teamwork. They regard the needs of others as very important, perhaps more so than their own, and seek to recognise their contributions and make them feel valued. They encourage and motivate others, engender team spirit, and try to overcome any conflict by finding common ground and ways in which people can agree.
