Billie Holiday
motivation

Although Billie Holiday is a team player who puts the group's welfare ahead of her own, she is also very competitive and aggressive. When her colleagues do exude as much energy as she does, Billie Holiday quickly becomes discouraged, frustrated and alienated from the group. Holiday can also make an excellent leader, manager or coach by leading the team, group, or company to excellence.

She is a person who thrives on challenge, and she often feels that she must battle her way through life, relying on no one and nothing but her own strength, intelligence and courage. Billie Holiday believes in being totally honest, true to herself and her own vision and convictions, even if it means standing alone. Honesty, integrity, personal honor and authenticity are Holiday's gods, and she has no sympathy for weakness of character in others.

Billie Holiday craves the freedom to do things in her own way, and she works very well independently. Cooperating with others or carrying out another's will is not her style. Billie likes to be the chief - or to go it alone.

Billie Holiday loves action and if others are settling down into a nice, comfortable little rut, then she is always ready to stir things up, do something new, make changes and introduce some fresh blood. Routine and sameness are tantamount to death for her. She is not afraid of trying something that has never been done before, and even though she may sometimes be perceived as a fool, Billie Holiday also discovers, invents and initiates things that others will later emulate. Taking risks and following her own star are the breath of life for Holiday, and she wilts (or gets very frustrated and angry) if she cannot do this.

She is spontaneous, impulsive, direct, enthusiastic and assertive. Billie Holiday believes in the power of positive thinking and positive action, and she perceives herself as a strong, even invincible, person. Billie Holiday hates being ill or in a position of dependency. Accepting her own human limitations and emotional needs is often difficult for her.

She is basically aggressive in her attitudes and less adept at relating to others, picking up on subtle messages and nuances, listening, nurturing and harmonizing. She is often so fired up about her own projects or goals that she inadvertently runs over or ignores other people's feelings and interests. Being receptive and appreciative of others' contributions, ideas and feelings would be highly instrumental in improving Holiday's relationships. Her impatience to get on with things causes Billie Holiday to be rather insensitive, thereby alienating others unnecessarily. She also frequently tries to accomplish her goals through anger or temper tantrums. Billie Holiday would gain much by learning to slow down, relax and sometimes just let things be, however her energetic, restless nature rarely allows Billie Holiday to do so.

Ownership gives Billie Holiday a sense of security, and she has a strong attachment to her possessions. Billie also has a natural instinct or understanding of economics, finance, trade, and appraising the value of merchandise.

She is an original! Billie Holiday radiates a sort of electrical excitement about the things she is interested in, and conveys this to others, but she also gets bored rather quickly. Billie does not mind being a bit unusual or breaking a few rules either.

Billie Holiday has a powerful personality and a tendency to run roughshod over others. Billie tends to inflict her will on them whether or not they are receptive. She is likely to gain respect from others through the demonstration of physical strength and bravery.
