The following is a description of Henry's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Henry Mancini comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Henry Mancini - his real motivation, which describes the kind of person he is at heart and where his true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Henry Mancini" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Henry a little better. This page describes the disguise Mancini wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.
Henry Mancini appears gentle and soft, and he acts rather reserved with others until he knows them well and feels it is safe to be open with them. Henry has a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and is deeply attached to the past: his heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places, etc. Making radical changes or moves away from what is familiar and safe can be very painful and difficult for him. Mancini tends to cling to people, memories and possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to Mancini.
Mancini approaches life emotionally and subjectively and he is sensitive to the emotional atmosphere, the subtle undercurrents of feeling in and around him. Instinctive and non-rational, Henry Mancini is often unable to give a clear, simple explanation for his actions. Something either feels right, or it does not.
His emotions and personal loyalties tend to color Henry's thoughts and opinions. He views life from a very personal perspective and often cannot mentally detach himself from his own personal bias and prejudices. He is apt to be concerned primarily with how something affects him and those dear and close to him, rather than with the principle or the broader social implications. For instance, he may be very patriotic and feel that whatever "my country" does is right without really knowing much about the other nation's policies or point of view. Simply put: if it is good for Henry and his near and dear ones, then it is good. If it is not good for him and his near and dear ones, it is no good.
He is tenaciously loyal, protective, and supportive of those he cares about, and has a very strong nurturing, paternal nature. Henry Mancini empathizes with others and intuitively senses the feelings and needs of other people. Compassionate and sympathetic, he is easily moved by others' pain, and Henry Mancini is often the one that others seek out when they need comfort, reassurance, or help.
His moods fluctuate and change frequently and he is sometimes open and sometimes withdrawn emotionally. Henry Mancini communicates nonverbally and appreciates a person who can pick up subtle cues and hints, rather than having to make everything explicit.
Henry never forgets either kindness or unkindness shown to him.
He may be seen as someone who provokes conflict because Henry Mancini likes to get everything out in the open and he generally does not avoid disagreeable issues. His relationships with others may be characterized by a great deal of competition, anger, or friction as a result. Or, Mancini may seem to run into more than his share of inconsiderate, pushy people. Learning to harness his energies into cooperative efforts and shared work is Mancini's challenge.
Despite the fact that his core self is quite a bit different from the face the world generally sees, Henry Mancini has a strong desire to be seen and recognized, to be acknowledged, and to have a significant influence on people in his environment. He may do remarkable things in order to be noticed. However, Henry Mancini often does not get the full recognition he wishes for.
Henry Mancini appears to be liberal and open-minded. Anything new, innovative, unusual, or off the beaten track arouses his interest. Mancini infuses his environment with enthusiasm, new life and excitement. Though not intentionally disruptive, Henry Mancini does enjoy startling or waking people up a bit.
