Queen Elizabeth II - The Operator
Congratulations, you are an Operator.
Your answers indicate that you are introverted and detail-oriented, making you an Operator, just like Queen Elizabeth II.
Your PROM Archetype (TM) is not a personality; it identifies your observable contributions to organizations when using your superpowers.
You focus on the details, make stuff happen, and get the trains running on time and to a VERY, VERY high standard.
You excel at developing plans and SOPs, enforcing rules, and holding people accountable.
You nail the specifics and tell people when good ideas are out of sync with reality.
You hate drama and would rather not be the center of attention at company events or social gatherings. You read people very well.
Authenticity: Recognize that Operators can be great leaders. Embrace your detail-oriented, mission-focused inclinations. Aim for roles that enable you to build sustainable systems and institutions. Don't listen to the nonsense that leaders must be extroverted visionaries. Put visionaries on your team and empower them to challenge that status quo. Be sure to allow yourself recovery time between social events.
Famous Operators include:
Sheryl Sandberg
Indra Nooyi
George Washington
Queen Elizabeth II
Ready to be your best self? Take these steps:1. Play to your strengths. Invest in being the best version of yourself and ignore the nonsense about fixing your supposed inherent weaknesses. People who use their natural strengths each day are 2X - 3X happier and more productive than those in roles that feel like a grind. Gain skills that make the most of your natural inclinations so that you can soar to new heights.
2. Ignore unsolicited advice. Plenty of people, who claim to want what's best for you, will tell you that you have to conform to a particular "ideal style" to be a good leader. Nonsense. Unsolicited advice is projection -- it's about them and not about you. Go to #1 for solicited advice.
3. Get your own trusted advisers. The best athletes and leaders invest in themselves to constantly push the performance envelope. As you speak with people who help you play to your strengths, you will likely find the right fits to help you be your best self. Hire that person. You get the benefit of their experience and the mutual accountability that occurs -- you will put in the work so that you get a significant return on investment, and they will do everything in their power to make sure you get results. Free coaching and advice have no accountability and thus get no results.

I've made most of the available mistakes, including trying to conform to someone else's expectations of the right leadership style, lone-wolfing it, and giving performance reviews that encouraged my subordinates to be more like me than the best version of themselves.

My painful and expensive experiences are your shortcut to success.
