Twos are "people people", and they will look first to interpersonal relationships to solve problems and to get things done. Twos have an superb radar for the moods and needs of people in their lives, and, if they choose, they can deftly, confidently, expertly respond to them. They are the extraordinarily prescient secretary, the Jewish mother, the Italian mother, the confidant, the generous and appreciative friend, the power behind the throne. However they appear, they make themselves indispensible to important others as a path to power and influence. They can excel at customized customer service, whomever the "customer" might be. On the downside, Twos may appear as prideful and power-hungry apple polishers. They can be seductive and indirect as they manipulate to get their way. However, at their best Twos can be genuinely sensitive, helpful and humble givers, guardian angels who inspire and protect, and mentors who bring out the best in others. Leadership Twos are comfortable with the powerful and the exercise of power; excellent networkers, they easily bring the key players together under their banner. Their people skills and genuine interest in the people they lead may create a community redolent with pride or enthusiasm that engenders loyalty to the Two leader or culture.
