Ambitious Subordinate / Ambitny podwładny

Co to za archetyp

Ambitious subordinate is an archetype describing a usually competent person who has ambition beyond her current position. An ambitious subordinate is willing to take quite many risks in order to get noticed and promoted by her superior, and his abilities and competencies to materialize results from those risks and avert most of potential problems. An ambitious subordinate likes to operate alone, behind enemy lines, having a lot of responsibility with possible high level of rewards. What motivates her the most is the power resulting from the position and the chain of command; this type of person seems incorruptible, while in reality she is corruptible, but not with normal resources. This archetype says nothing about her morals; only about her competences and craving for recognition.
