DLCA the Prize Fighter
(Dominant Lazy Curious Aloof)

 

This horse has opinions and is ready to defend them. It is in your best interest to listen to him. To get the job done you must work with him. He will have numerous rules and requirements. He will also get you to the winner’s circle when you have developed a working relationship. Unlike the Rock Star who is there for the glory and recognition, the Prize Fighter is there because they love the sport and the competition.

Allow them their idiosyncrasies
Use positive motivation
