Four Londoners are inseparably linked by their wartime experiences. In a time when the barriers of sexuality and social convention have been broken down, they enjoy a freedom never experienced before.
Caring, serious, driven by deeply held values, wants to change things for the better, perceptive, insightful, independent, up for the cause, ‘big picture,’ creative, idealistic, planning, follow through.
Not their forte
Difficult to know, complex, values-driven so needs to believe in a project or organisation, emotional but rarely show their emotions, intense, sensitive can get offended, can ignore ‘irrelevant’ facts.
Extremely independent, love big complex problems to immerse in, intellectually curious, flexible, very high standards, works in sporadic bursts of energy, capable of ground-breaking ideas, logical.
Not their forte
Get bored by routine, the mundane or ‘mere’ details, independent and economic so can be difficult to know, dislike chitchat, not a planner, logical, non-emotional, extremly direct, dislike ambiguity.
Creative, friendly, caring, quick, impulsive, enthusiastic, energetic, brings people in, radical, love the new and the complex, curious, forward thinking, flexible, unconstrained, positive, helpful, happy.
Not their forte
Planning, organising, sitting still, need people around, sensitive, can get hurt, of the moment so may struggle to prioritise, needs stimulation, possibilities and the new, not detailed or factual, impatient.
Confident, authoritative, takes charge, outgoing, energy, long range planner, relentless and driven, difficult to budge, big picture, drive for closure quickly, take tough decisions, break with tradition.
Not their forte
Going slow and steady, taking a back seat, not having a strong opinion, confrontational to get it moving, direct to the point of bone-jarring, needs the challenge of something new, need to lead.
