When you are ENFP and they are ENTJ
The Commander who can make your dreams real

Te is your tertiary function, so their follow-through can look enviable and instructive, but their speed and pressure can also knock your free-flowing rhythm off balance. When you respect each other's energy, the synergy is huge.
