Practitioners enjoy being a team member and helping others succeed.  They prefer a supportive role, and would rather not be the leader.  They don’t want to be held accountable for major decisions or taking risks.  When they have plenty of time to think things through, they can bring valuable insights to the team process.   Their reluctance to move fast can frustrate others.

Practitioners prefer a comfortable and cooperative environment where people are trusting and pleasant.   They thrive when they can contribute to projects that require attention to detail.

Daily performance and self-discipline is important to Practitioners.  The expectations they have of themselves and others are very high.  They have a tendency to voice disapproval when their expectations are not met.
