The only instance in which Lapo Elkann will really fight is when he senses that his loved ones - or something dear to him- are being jeopardized, in which case he is a fierce defender. Lapo Elkann has a very strong protective side. He acts on impulse and instinct and may lash out at anyone he perceives as threatening to Lapo's home or family. However, Lapo Elkann will rarely initiate a confrontation. His goals also tend to be very personal and centered on family closeness and inner satisfaction rather than worldly achievement.

He is sensitive to stress and does not handle a high-pressured, competitive atmosphere very well. Lapo Elkann is very touchy, irritable and difficult to live with when there are many demands or stressful situations at work.
