The Anchor and The Accelerator
These are general tendencies, not rules or predictions. People are more than their structure.
How they meet
The Anchor slows a tense moment down. The Accelerator speeds up when the ground shakes. In the same difficult week, one of you is making the room calmer and the other is already starting something new.
What tends to work
The Accelerator brings movement when things have stalled, and The Anchor makes sure people are still on board when it does. The Anchor's calm gives The Accelerator a place to come back to. The Accelerator's energy reminds The Anchor that a decision can be made today.
Where it strains
The Accelerator can hear The Anchor's "let's slow down" as a brake. The Anchor can experience The Accelerator's speed as leaving people behind. Under pressure the gap widens, because each of you does more of what already works for you.
What helps
Agree on which decisions are fast ones and which are slow ones before a crisis, not during it. The Accelerator can say what they are about to start. The Anchor can say how long they need, and give a real number.
