He also engages in control-seeking behavior by making demands of others, even though they are not his "employees."
Willers is also a classic ISTJ who often has difficulty trusting his employees. He has a tendency to get very frustrated with his employees when they don't meet his high standards. For example, when Eddie's son Eric is a teenager, he doesn't get the job done in his first summer job. Eddie gets very frustrated and calls him lazy, but Eric protests that he is not lazy and doesn't know why he is being called lazy. Eddie says he doesn't know why he is being called lazy but maybe he should trust their son in this situation. Later, when Eric is a teenager, he again doesn't get the job done and his father gets angry at him and calls him lazy again.
