The Executive
The Practical Organizer
Overview
ESTJs want the world to be well run and well organised. They are keenly aware of the need for structure in a situation, such as the roles and responsibilities that people have. If there are no established processes or procedures, or in a situation of chaos, then they will introduce a logical organisation and structure into the way things are done. They are likely to be business-like and professional in their manner.
