While empathy is a strength, Counselors can sometimes become too emotionally invested in the challenges of those they help. This can lead to burnout or difficulty maintaining professional boundaries.
Given their nurturing nature, they might avoid necessary confrontations or tough decisions to prevent causing distress or conflict, which can sometimes be detrimental in leadership roles.
Their investigative side might lead them to over-analyze situations, especially when trying to understand human behavior, which could delay decision-making.
Their deep connections with individuals might inadvertently lead to favoritism or decisions based on personal feelings rather than objective facts.
