Name: Vincent Kennedy McMahon
Occupation: Chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment.
Career Highlights: Ushered in the modern era of professional wrestling with a nationally televised promotion, as well as licensing/merchandising deals for his talent. Turned a once-risky Wrestlemania venture into a yearly spectacle on par with the Super Bowl. Set box office and PPV records as the hated enemy of Stone Cold Steve Austin. Had someone polish his buttocks with a shoe buffer to advance a televised storyline.
Dominant Pattern(s): Driver. Both former and current WWE employees paint Vince as a confrontational workaholic whose entire life is dedicated to his company (and rightfully so; everything he's tried to do outside of wrestling has been a crashing failure). Every storyline/character decision made by his creative team goes through him, which can result in awkward miscalculations of what the audience likes vs. what Vince thinks is funny. On the other hand, that intense, goal-oriented focus is what helped him navigate the sleazy, disreputable wrestling business; WWE is now a publicly-traded company that has branched out into music and film production.
Vince could also be called a Visionary for his idea of what wrestling could become, and his willingness to risk his financial well-being early on to make that happen. He saw potential in a nationally touring company with national television exposure and merchandised talent early enough to establish the then-WWF's market presence well before any of his competitors caught on. Given that, it's easy to forgive the fact that all of his company's cultural references are five years late.
Recommendation(s) for Improvement: Engage that Collaborator center, and fast. Vince already has a writing team under intense pressure to produce, and wrestling stars putting their bodies on the line for a similar purpose, but has trouble delegating to the point where he can remove himself as the content filter before ideas make it to TV. Some of that innate sense of fun he shows as an on-screen character needs to work its way into his leadership approach. Daily rounds of breathing and sitting bounce exercises should get Mr. McMahon swaying and rolling with the (sometimes literal) punches.
