Dreamer Team Role Explained

Belonging to the group according to the team role theory: Air group

Air personality types have fluid emotional intelligence and often have their heads in the clouds. At first glance, these people may seem disorganized and undisciplined, but that doesn't mean they don't work well. Representatives of the Air group are often gifted and talented — some are even brilliant.

Standard work instructions or conditions are usually insufficient to unleash their potential for the team. First, they need the freedom to work at their own pace; second, they must be interested in their tasks. When these conditions are met, individuals from the Air group can work comfortably and produce amazing results.

Dreamers are people with high emotional intelligence. Even a small professional success inspires and motivates them, while failure, on the contrary, undermines their self-confidence and damages their professional self-esteem.

For people of this type, job satisfaction is extremely important and affects all areas of their life. They are deeply affected by conflict, so a friendly team atmosphere is also crucial for Dreamers.

Dreamers tend to feel guilty and frustrated, often experiencing unreasonable anxiety and dissatisfaction with their professional skills. They humbly accept criticism and may dwell on their mistakes for a long time. Sometimes it seems they can't live without stress and drama.

Dreamers are highly creative and imaginative. They think broadly and unconventionally, but many of their ideas lack practical application. They often focus on their problems and shortcomings.

People of this type often find their potential in creative professions, becoming excellent designers, journalists, and photographers. Many Dreamers also thrive in the service industry, marketing, and IT.

• Hypercritical of their work, Dreamers usually produce high-quality results.
• Dreamers prefer cooperation over rivalry and value team achievements more than personal ones.
• With a great sense of taste, Dreamers excel in fields related to the aesthetics of products or services provided by the team.
• When inspired by success, Dreamers can achieve great things for the company and share their enthusiasm with those around them.

• Engrossed in their thoughts, Dreamers may easily forget about current tasks and deadlines.
• Difficult tasks can provoke anxiety attacks in Dreamers, causing them to avoid such tasks whenever possible.
• In team activities, Dreamers tend to focus more on the process than on achieving specific results.
• Dreamers often underestimate their professional knowledge and skills while overestimating the abilities of their coworkers.

Tolerance for mistakes, flexible working hours, and a friendly team atmosphere — these are the factors that must be provided by the top management group (Director, Warrior, and Analyst) for the Dreamer to work comfortably. Dreamers highly appreciate an individual approach to their needs and can become loyal advocates for the company.

Generally, Dreamers are team players, ready to collaborate with colleagues to achieve a common goal.

Dreamers try to avoid conflict and don't seek to control others. They prefer completing tasks rather than generating or assigning them.

In a team, Dreamers often focus on the look and feel of products or services and the emotions they evoke.

People of this type rarely change professions or teams, even when uncomfortable with their current circumstances.

Representatives of this type need to address their negative attitudes about their professional abilities, develop self-confidence, and avoid dwelling on failure. Excessive introspection may only deepen their internal anxiety.

Time management is a weak point for Dreamers. Difficulties with allocating time prevent them from working at a normal pace and from finding opportunities for learning and self-development.

Dreamers who can overcome these challenges and learn to take on more responsibility have the potential to become lead designers, creative directors, or other middle managers.
