Expression 2 and Expression 8

Expression 2 and Expression 8 compare two ways of operating in the world. Here is how the styles meet, in work and in the ordinary run of a day.

How Expression 2 and 8 get along

Soft and hard, in the most literal behavioural sense. 2's navigation is through cooperating, adjusting, sensing what others need; 8's navigation is through commanding, structuring, and reshaping what's there to fit. The power differential is visible. What's less visible is that 2's influence is just as strong, it just works by bending rather than breaking.
