Diplomats are extroverted, curious, confident and enthusiastic about their work. Diplomats are good at networking, and they are people who go out to find opportunities, develop contacts and obtain resources for the team. Although they are not necessarily as skilled as other team members in putting forward their own ideas, they are good at getting ideas from others and bringing them back to the team. Diplomats usually show optimism and are motivated by interest, which may cool down over time. Diplomats may be too optimistic about the outcome of the whole mission, and once the initial enthusiasm passes, they are likely to lose interest in the mission. Berbin said, don't be surprised if a diplomat forgets to follow up a clue.
