Corporate Wild – The Owl

The owl is the wisest of all birds because the more it sees the less it talks. (African Proverb)

The Owl symbolizes a deep connection with wisdom and intuitive knowledge. From it’s high up perch, the mighty bird observes the landscape, always totally calm and composed. Then when the moment is right, in one swift swoop pounces on its target with its razor beak and sharp claws. 

People with the Owl personality in the corporate wild are wise through experience and know when to sit back, listen and observe. They are always analyzing information, formulating plans and strategizing their next well thought out move. These people are so valuable to organizations as they do not make rash decisions based on emotions and they are very good at reading people and the business landscape. Thus, when they make a move, present an idea, or speak up, everyone around them attentively listens. Calmness coupled with assertiveness creates an aura about them that inspires.

They are sharp in their speech, action, and behavior, always tactful and on point. These people have years of experience to draw from and are excellent visionaries. For all these reasons you will find Owl personalities perched atop the corporate hierarchy. Think Canadian business mogul, Jim Treliving.
