If you have read the
book you will know that the underpinning biology of
Transformational Builders is the neurotransmitter serotonin
which acts as a moderator within the body. Transformational
Builders are reliable, steady, moderate, honourable,
traditional, cautious and can often be risk-averse. They
always want to build collaborative, sustainable
relationships and projects over the longer term, and will
work tirelessly for the benefit of their working
partnerships, their community, and for society.
Caffeine suppresses serotonin. Cocoa raises it. Therefore
the higher the cocoa content of chocolate, i.e. the darker
it is, the more serotonin is released. Transformational
Builders, who are driven by serotonin, are often
particularly keen on chocolate. If you know anyone who
doesn’t just like chocolate, but absolutely loves it, it’s
quite likely that they will also have some other
Transformational Builder traits.
