The Craftsman Profile | Straightline Consulting
Maximize your business potential by tapping into people’s natural strengths.
The Craftsman Reference Profile—like all Reference Profiles—has many unique strengths and characteristics. Understanding the differences in your people can help you build a company that achieves the results you’re after. The same way you’d build a world-class sports team, knowing how your people think and work helps you optimize for success.

Craftsmen are naturally accommodating. They seek to produce highly precise and accurate work, and they’re willing to delegate—as long as there’s close follow-up. For a more detailed and accurate reading of your behavioral pattern and how it pertains to your unique business situation, schedule a consultation.

The Craftsman on a team
Craftsmen are calming, stable forces on the team. They’re known to be understanding, straightforward, and deliberate. They thrive in and help contribute to a culture of precision. Teams are often designed by default rather than intention. A strategic, data-driven approach to building teams is what helps organizations win.

Business strategy and the Craftsman
Before you know whether someone is the right person for the job, you need total clarity and alignment on the results you’re after. What’s the goal or desired outcome? When we ask questions like this, we get a better understanding of the need to align people strategically for specific results.
When you put people in the right roles, you avoid turnover, toxicity, disengagement, and lost productivity. In the case of the Craftsman, they naturally gravitate toward strategic activities that seek to build processes and structure to produce accurate work.
Managing the Craftsman
Often managers try to manage everyone the same way—and that’s usually the way they like to be managed.
But this approach can backfire. People like to be managed differently—and it may not always be in a way that comes naturally to you. Even beyond the individual needs, teams require different leadership styles. You wouldn’t manage a sales team the same way you’d manage a team of developers.
When working with Craftsmen, remember that they’re thoughtful, careful, responsive, and reserved. They’re typically less effective in work environments that have little structure. Craftsmen respect and seek direction. When managing this profile, consider some of the following suggestions:
Recognize them for their contributions.
Give a clear definition of responsibility and authority.
Provide a stable working environment.
Allow them time to think through decisions.
Let them work on more technical projects.
Provide thorough training in all policies, standards, and systems.
Explore talent optimization.
Companies that struggle to build high-performing teams are often missing critical people data.
With our tools, expertise, experiance, and talent optimization, you can stop guessing at how to get the most from your people— and better align your people to deliver on the results you’re after.

The Four PI "Stabilizing" Profiles and Their Signature Work Styles
Adapters have a relatively even balance of Behavioral Drives. There is no predominant drive that really fuels their needs and behaviors. Adapters can be hard to read at times because there is no strong drive either way.
Adapters are flexible. If your team needs a facilitator, the Adapter may step into that role. If they need a decision made, the Adapter will likely be happy to make one. If you have a team member that is hard to get a read on—chances are you have an Adapter. Fluid and versatile, Adapters will transform their style to meet the current needs of the team. Because of this, they are often the glue that holds the team together, bridging disagreements, offering perspective and providing both energy and caution in the right amounts.
A Craftsman is thoughtful, deliberate, and precise, with an eye for managing detail-work and always following through. They are collaborative, but they’ll also work quietly and diligently on their own. They’re not self-promoters but like recognition for their efforts.
A Craftsman will be the quiet backbone of your team. They’ll always listen far more than they speak. If they are talking, it’s usually because they are seeking direction or asking clarifying questions about the project before heading off to get started. This team member can always be relied on to get the job done carefully and on-time, and they are often ingenious in their problem-solving. A Craftsman will delegate when it makes sense, but they are not comfortable with freewheeling or improvisation.

Guardians are usually unselfish and approachable, with a focus on work that requires skill and great attention to detail. They are thoughtful, steady and reliable.
Things don’t accidentally fall through the cracks in a Guardian’s world—they like structure and precision, and tend to be perfectionists.
Guardians tend to be quite serious and formal at work, compared to many of their colleagues. They like structure and detail and tend to want to complete a task themselves, to ensure it is done properly. They dislike conflict or chaos. They prefer to find areas of agreement and then to follow agreed-upon processes to execute on those ideas. Conservative, diligent and cautious, you will not find Guardians taking many risks. They like to color inside the lines.
Operators are people you can count on. Patient and conscientious, they are usually among the most cooperative people on any team. Operators will remain stable, thorough, and relaxed in most circumstances.
Reliable and relaxed, the Operator likes being a member of a familiar and comfortable group—especially one that works like a well-oiled machine. They are naturally drawn to teamwork and consensus, and are not territorial—easily passing work back and forth with other team members.
They are usually quite informal and laid back, but don’t let that fool you. Operators are reliable and very careful in their work, and will rarely either showboat or drop the ball.
