In every business, art, trade or profession, there are four major jobs to be done: Creative — inventing, discovering, or developing new ideas Administrative — making plans and policies for the conduct and supervision of the entire business or project Executive — directing the work of others in actually carrying out plans and policies in one or more departments or sections Line — performing some individual routine task involving no responsibility for the work of others If you have creative ability, you know it without anyone telling you. Your creative talents have demanded expression in your early youth. If there is any doubt in your mind as to whether you have the ability to invent or to discover or to develop new ideas, you probably do not have this ability. If you are a thoughtful person, slow to act, who enjoys analyzing, interpreting, and patiently summarizing the results of the activities of others; if you’re the kind of person who likes to pry into every single phase of an operation and to vie a business as a whole; if you get a big kick out of cautiously defining long-range plans and policies; if you’re strong on logic, you have the most important earmarks of an able administrator. But if you like plenty of action, if you love to organize and direct other people as they carry out plans and policies, and if you’re perfectly content to confine your activities to one department of a business, you’d probably make a first-rate executive.
