[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It is the most exciting and nervous making time you may ever have at business school. When you finally get to meet your TEAM; the people with whom you will be working long hours and on whom you will rely on to make your MBA experience all that you want it to be.<\/p>\n

The initial meeting is like a first date but with five or more people. At first, everyone is on their best behavior but once you get that first problem set, you start seeing a different side of folks.<\/p>\n

To give you a sense of what type of teammates you will have, here is something of a zoological guide to your soon-to-become second family:<\/p>\n

The Paper Tiger<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Ivy League, investment banking or consulting. They are likely to be called on the first day of class to present a case. They\u2019ll nail it. The have it all together\u2026until they don\u2019t. If the team faces a situation that doesn\u2019t quite fit into the model they\u2019ve been working on since grammar school, they are stymied. At first they are overly confident. And then, they are overly humbled. You will have a late night conversation with them about how their life isn\u2019t quite as great as it looks.<\/p>\n

Strengths<\/strong>: will be the face of your team and know how to navigate recruiting.<\/em>
\n Weakness<\/strong>: can\u2019t think outside the box, will need a big hug halfway through the semester.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Zebra<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The one off, a non-profit professional, artist, or newspaper reporter. While their business knowledge is limited, they know they belong in business school\u2026because they\u2019re different. They won\u2019t be afraid to mix it up and are confident in what they say. They\u2019ll star in marketing and organizational behavior, but will need help with anything that includes numbers i.e., everything else.<\/p>\n

Strengths<\/strong>: Will say, \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d and push you to explain. High EQ. The life of any party.<\/em>
\nWeaknesses<\/strong>: they really have no business knowledge. None.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Carpenter Ant<\/strong><\/h5>\n

A former military officer or GE executive. Came with a spouse and even kids. They speak rarely but when they do it is always worth listening to. Whatever needs doing, they will do. Their life is in perfect balance, until it is not. They are one sick kid away from hard stuff. Life stuff.<\/p>\n

Strengths<\/strong>: Gets things done, insightful always.<\/em>
\n Weaknesses<\/strong>: You need to prompt them to speak more\u2026you want their opinion. You need to prompt them\u2026sometimes to have a beer and sometimes to go home to see their family.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Deer in the Headlights<\/strong><\/h5>\n

They\u2019re not in Kansas anymore. Overwhelmed by everything. Be it class or where to eat. There is a lot there but it will be a while until it comes out. It turns out their knowledge is both broad and deep. As their confidence slowly grows, they become really pleasant to work with. New confidence brings new questions, like\u2026can they date a classmate?<\/p>\n

Strengths<\/strong>: smart and likeable, they may just know everything.<\/em>
\n Weaknesses<\/strong>: have to be drawn out and need a confidence boost. And they may need help doing their laundry.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Grasshopper<\/strong><\/h5>\n

They already have their business plan in their bag. Great networker and can give the elevator pitch. They\u2019ll actually know people on the other side of campus and people outside the classroom (what\u2019s the weather like out there?). But they have huge, blind spots. \u201cSorry for being late,\u201d \u201cActually, I didn\u2019t get a chance to do that,\u201d will become their tag lines. Eventually, they get it when they figure out a business plan ain\u2019t a business and they have to learn some stuff.<\/p>\n

Strengths<\/strong>: great out of the box thinkers, filled with energy, magnetic.<\/em>
\n Weaknesses<\/strong>: you have to remind them that they are part of team and to start carrying their weight.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Platypus<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The CPA from a small firm in the Midwest, went to state U. Confident in what they do but not in what they say or how they say it. Knows accounting and can crunch the numbers. Won\u2019t give the presentation but will answer all the questions. Solid, like a rock. When paired with the carpenter ant, they are the engine room of the team.<\/p>\n

Strengths<\/strong>: knows how a business is supposed to work, knows when the numbers make sense and when they don\u2019t. They\u2019ll invite you for dinner.<\/em>
\n Weaknesses<\/strong>: the soft stuff is hard for them. Will go out for a beer but won\u2019t talk much.<\/em><\/p>\n

Obviously, these are huge generalities. Nonetheless, representative of some of the traits you may find in your future teammates. While it is easy to throw others into one of these categories, it isn\u2019t a bad idea to look at yourself through this map of the zoo. You may just find out that you are not the business school animal you thought you would be.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
