When people are energized, driven, and focused, it can usually be attributed to energy-driving behaviors. Therefore, it’s important to know what kinds of activities motivate each personality type.

Myers-Briggs ENTJ Motivations

ENTJ personality types tend to be motivated and energized by...

  • Taking responsibility and ownership for their results
  • Creating new ways to solve problems
  • Being productive and accomplishing goals
  • Structured schedules and organized environments

ENTJs tend to be motivated by having ownership over their own results. They like being able to make an impressive impact and produce quality results when working on a project. Their ability to work hard and seek measurable outcomes helps them contribute largely to their team.

They enjoy finding new, unique solutions to complex problems. Rather than looking for an easy solution or quick-fix, ENTJs enjoy taking the time to weigh the options and find a solution that lasts a long time and can ultimately improve a system.

ENTJs tend to thrive when they are able to produce quality results and accomplish ambitious goals. They enjoy constantly moving toward new, exciting goals and are energized by regularly contributing to their ambitious plans. Once they achieve a goal they’ve set, ENTJs are likely to have fun coming up with a new big idea to work toward.

They are energized by structure and organization. ENTJs feel most motivated and productive when they’re able to create and follow through on a set plan. They thrive in steady, reliable environments that offer stability, so that they’re able to focus their energies on their goals, rather than on managing the chaos of a disorganized environment.

When ENTJs are able to engage in energizing tasks, they’ll feel happier and more productive. They’ll be able to put their abilities to good use and enjoy the work they’re doing, which will likely improve their overall engagement in a work environment.
