It’s good feedback that the correlation of energy levels to C’s value doesn’t always apply. Each of the C’s have a range of overlapping energy energy levels, and some Consumption energy levels (e.g. learning) may in fact take less energy than the energy levels of creating (e.g. cooking dinner from scratch).

I agree that multiple personality types lead to friction which leads to project team impact. But this solution seems overly binary. People can be told to temporarily “focus on x not y” and don’t need to be reprogrammed.

I think a good (project)manager can say, “Now I know you’re not comfortable with (x=)ambiguity, but for this project I’m asking you to support it despite the fact you like (y=)formality.” Often this isn’t assessed and addressed straightforwardly, or, similar to your second point, it gets presented as “the Right Way to do things is My Way and I want you to do it My Way.”
