Empathizer
Your objective is to be empathetic to others’ emotions. You have a natural ability to step into another person’s shoes, even if you don’t agree with their feelings or perspective. You understand what other people are going through, and this allows you to connect with others on a deeply personal level. You appreciate everyone’s differences and particularities. You treat people fairly and don’t exclude anyone, which naturally draws others to you. When part of a team, this strength based on kindness is valuable for mitigating conflict. You use it to ensure that everyone takes the others’ challenges and emotions into consideration.
Strategist
Your objective is to see the big picture. Have you heard of “taking the helicopter view”? Well, you are constantly on this helicopter! This special way of looking at the world at large is more than just a skill — it’s a perspective that allows you to see how everything is interconnected. Others may be confused by your short-term moves, but in your mind you have a vivid multi-step strategy to get you to your goal. You don’t take paths that lead nowhere. Instead, you find clear direction in even the most complex situations, which makes you an essential asset to any forward-looking team.
Coach
Your goal is to develop people’s potential. You believe that, contrary to what some might think, everybody has the potential for development. No-one has ever reached the ultimate level of excellence — there is always room for growth. It is your personal mission to help others realize and use their potential to experience success. As a result, you always look for ways to facilitate their learning, from challenging their thoughts in a discussion to creating environments that facilitate progress. As a leader, you truly care about the development of your team members, and they respect you for that.
Optimist
Your mission is to bring in a positive spirit. You believe that the glass is half-full instead of half-empty. You always find a way to make things more exciting, whether it’s a work project or an everyday situation. You infect others with your enthusiasm, and that’s why they love being around you. Sure, there are people who don’t buy your positivity, but does that stop you? No way! Your optimism simply doesn’t allow it. In a team environment, you are grateful for people and circumstances, generous with praise and quick to point out the positive side of every situation. This is key to motivating people and mitigating conflicts.
Problem Solver
Your objective is to solve problems. While breakdowns often demotivate others, they can excite and energize you. When something does not work as it should, you jump at the opportunity to analyze the symptoms, identify what’s wrong and find a solution. In other words, you are great at solving puzzles. Instead of giving up in the face of difficulty, your goal is to restore something to its true glory — this is what makes you particularly special. In a team, everyone knows you as someone who does not shy away from a challenge, but instead actually fixes things back to normal.
