You lead from the front — setting direction, assigning ownership, and clearing obstacles. You thrive where outcomes are measurable and the pace is fast.
You shine in roles centered on people — teaching, healthcare, hospitality, HR. You need appreciation and a collaborative environment.
You show love through competence: solving problems, planning futures, building security. You need a partner who meets your intensity and tells you plainly when you've crossed a line.
