James MacDonald

Staff Sgt. Thomas

What they bring to the party

Practical caring, detailed, factual, a planner, sees the downside, notices all the specifics of situations, people-centric uber doer, gets lots done, steady, quiet, methodical, serious, dedicated, deliverer.

Not their forte

More of a behind the scenes type, shy, doesn’t like the limelight, prefers the known, the ‘tried and tested,’ wary of change, sociable but very private, store of knowledge, great memory but not creative.

What they bring to the party

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.

Colin Farrell

Pvt. Roland Bozz

What they bring to the party

Caring, the ‘glue’ for the team, great at reading situations, genuinely tunes into people, quiet, introspective but at the heart of what’s going on, laid back, flexible, patient, kindly, creative, artistic.

Not their forte

Dislike conflict or fast-paced environments with no time to reflect, don’t like to upset people so may passively agree, difficult to know, behind the scenes, not a planner or organised, lives for the moment.

Matthew Davis

Pvt. Jim Paxton

What they bring to the party

Built to manage, create a plan, marshal the troops and drive for closure, brings clarity and order, strong work ethic, determined, detailed, factual, process-driven, traditional, brings discipline.

Not their forte

New initiatives, they prefer the ‘tried and tested,’ ‘let’s just see’ would irritate them, they need a plan, clear communicator but can be very blunt, competitive, need to control, not creative or ideas driven.
