I've realized that people who are task oriented lean more towards creative. People who are effort oriented tend to want management positions.

My manger complain, "I was so busy I had six hours of meeting"

My fellow dev would say, "I was nose down. I really wanted to get that status message to stop flickering"

My manager would report that there was 15% more story points completed over last sprint

My dev would report that the new grid view is complete and is ready to go to QA.

People who work together often have fundamental different ideas of what success looks like.
