Primarily, an ESTP person is unlikely to wait for others to assume the leadership role. As creatures of action, ESTPs want things to happen immediately. Waiting for someone else to make things happen goes against the natural inclination of the ESTP person, who will assume the leadership role rather than wait for someone else to do so. After the mantle of leadership is acquired, their personality becomes even more of an asset in leading the team. Just as they are unlikely to wait for another person to assume control, so too are ESTPs unlikely to wait for someone else to solve a problem or start a project. ESTPs need new experiences and constant stimulation from outside sources. This means they will take up new projects and seek to solve old problems with little to no prodding. They require very little urging from others to accomplish tasks. In addition to their quick responses and advanced work ethic (if only to keep themselves from being bored), the ESTP person also has incredible people skills that are, likewise, beneficial for leadership positions. The ESTP person is a social person who enjoys interacting with others and receiving feedback from such exchanges. Leadership roles, which require the interaction with and the promotion of motivation of multiple personality types, are well suited to the ESTP.
I wanted to learn more about the ESTP because I recently read that the President Elect Donald Trump has this personality and the book really confirmed it. Insightful!
Here's a few quotes -
"The ESTP also tends to be a direct personality type, who dislikes subtlety and evasiveness. They tend to be open, honest individuals who expect others to be the same. Lies and prevarications are unlikely to work on the observant ESTP, and they are likely to immediately call out the individual they suspect of such."
"The ESTP is a fascinating personality. They tend to be unusually perceptive, gaining insight into those around them that allows them to come out on top in almost every social situation.
"...they can often be blunt to the point of rudeness, and may lack a deep sense of emotional empathy towards others. Although they are open and honest about themselves, it may be difficult for the ESTP to see certain statements they uttered as callous or insensitive to other personality types. This is caused by the decision making process of the ESTP, which is grounded firmly in logic. The ESTP person perceives emotions as entirely separate and irrelevant to decisions. These include areas that others might deem sensitive, such as personal problems or relationships."
