Role description

The Judge is interested in action and completing tasks. They focus on clarifying exactly what needs to be done, by whom, with what resources and in what timeframe. They have an innate sense of urgency and don’t walk away from conflict if that is required to agree on tasks and responsibilities.

The Judge pushes the team to make decisions, to allocate resources and agree to timeframes. They energise the team and roll their sleeves up and get on with the task at hand. They are practical and push to complete the task.

The Judge’s mind is fast, efficient, clear, certain and razor sharp. It can remember details and likes to keep discussion concrete, ideas practical and tasks specific. It is driven by a constant desire to complete large amounts of work.

While quality is important, Judges enjoy following efficient systems that enable them to do two days’ work in one day. Constantly changing, refining and improving systems is an annoyance to Judges who would prefer to ‘get on with it’ rather than spend two days refining a system that could save one day’s work.

Regardless of their training or level of professional development, the Judge likes working quickly and efficiently in an area of personal interest where they are recognised and rewarded financially. Their passion is being able to successfully complete projects where all the key stakeholders are happy and there is written acknowledgement of the contribution made by the Judge or their team.

Very emotionally passionate, Judges see strong relationships as being central to achievement and will protect those they are responsible for, defend those they respect and confront those they believe are wrong.

They believe in the importance of institutions like the church, schools and the legal system. They do not, however, have an abiding trust in their leaders and so constantly ask the hard questions to ‘keep the bastards honest’.

They often join social clubs or groups and conduct community work because they enjoy meeting new people and doing the right thing.

A Judge has great clarity with regard to their opinions on most issues and likes to put their case forward even if the topic doesn’t come up. They are energetic, enthusiastic, focused and quick working and have an excellent eye for ensuring all the details are right and the ends are tied up.

Judges have a natural interest in commerce and the process of making money. They are natural small business owners and tend to find themselves in charge of logistics organisation, be it for sales, weddings, charity balls, fundraising or banquets. Judges thrive on activity, deadlines, logistics, organising teams, and multi-tasking.
