These differences are mostly related to their personalities, their team spirit and finally their entrepreneurship skills.
I identified 3 types or better 3 dimensions in which I can fit all the people I work and worked with.
Before starting and describing these dimensions, I just want to point out couple of important things.
- This has nothing to do with how good you are with the code or design or testing. You can be the best kickass-bruce-lee-coder, but still entering in the mono-dimensional category.
- This has also nothing to do with your level of seniority, I saw Juniors that can perfectly fit in the tridimensional category and team leaders falling in the mono-dimensional one.
- This is perfectly applicable to ANY workplace and ANY type of job and ANY industry.
- It is just my point of view in a boring Friday afternoon.
