Robert Altman
drive and ambition
Once Robert Altman sets his mind on a goal, his dedication, determination, and commitment are extraordinary. Altman pursues his ambitions tenaciously and will stubbornly refuse to give up, let go, or be influenced in any way. Like Aesop's tortoise, Robert labors patiently and steadfastly until he achieves what he wants - or until it is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that all is lost. He is a reliable, consistent and productive worker, and he often shoulders more of the workload than his co-workers, usually without complaint. He often ends up with the nitty-gritty work. He prefers a regular routine, with definite hours and clearly defined responsibilities and tasks. In fact, establishing a pattern or routine is very important to his success because once he gets started in a certain direction, it is easy for Robert Altman to kept to that path. Getting started is more difficult.

He is interested in concrete results and solid, practical achievements. Robert Altman needs to have some tangible product or contribution to show for his efforts, and cannot be content with only intangible rewards (such as having a good time, learning, or spiritual enrichment). Material well-being and security is also a large factor in determining what he does. Robert's stamina and persistence are his greatest assets, but they can also work against him; he can get caught in a rut and refuse to seize new opportunities. Robert Altman also tends to play it safe, and to limit himself as a result.
Robert Altman expects to work hard for anything he accomplishes and he has no patience for people who do not pull their own weight. Work is a passion for Robert at times, and he pushes himself too hard. Altman can also be too demanding of the people he works with.

Robert Altman struggles with feelings of discouragement, self-doubt, and the sense that life is a constant uphill battle.

Relationships with women, trying to satisfy family needs, or other emotional attachments sometimes also conflict. Often Robert Altman has to decide on one or another at a given time, rather than try to have both.
