In the centre of your wheel, you can see percentage scores for each of the four cluster areas. The baseline is 25% for each cluster, so the further
away your scores are from 25%, the greater preference you show towards, or away from, that cluster. Consider this when thinking about your
work and what energizes you more, and less.

Top Tip: create your own strengths habit tracker

To get the most from your strengths, we recommend creating your own strengths habit tracker to help
you build new habits over the coming weeks and months.

Following the suggestions on the following pages, pick out the best development ideas for you and turn
them into new habits to build for the next 30-60 days. Let us know how you get on, we would love to
hear from you.

Adopt a ‘less is more’ approach and identify a few priority areas to focus on at any one time to maximize your
success. Your ‘Significant 7’ strengths are listed below.

Creativity
You generate new ideas and original solutions to move things forward

Strengthening your performance

Stretching your strength to the next level


Ask your manager for an opportunity to run short 'creative burst' or brainstorming sessions to improve work processes and
practices or to deal with specific challenges
Identify the three top problems or challenges facing your team or organization currently and use your Creativity strength to
address these
Observe and reflect how you use your intuition – gut feelings and hunches – and learn how to listen to these more
consciously in order to generate ideas and original solutions that move things forward

Overdrive risks and how to reduce them

You generate unworkable, eccentric ideas that take little account of the realities of the organization and its context. You may
overlook the more obvious, tried and tested solution

If you generate unworkable, eccentric ideas that take little account of the realities of the organization and its
context…
Partner with colleagues who have more pragmatic, common-sense thinking styles to ensure you understand what is likely
to work taking account of the organization’s history, context and stakeholders

If you tend to overlook more obvious, tried and tested solutions…


Balance your creativity with proven solutions from colleagues and other, similar organizations; avoid re-inventing the wheel

If you feel bored and disengage when your ideas are not considered…
Be open to different thinking styles and remember that some of the biggest breakthroughs can come through building on
what’s already worked well in the past

Emotional control
You are aware of your emotional ‘triggers’ and how to control these to ensure you remain calm and
productive

Balance your creativity with proven solutions from colleagues and other, similar organizations; avoid re-inventing the wheel

If you feel bored and disengage when your ideas are not considered…
Be open to different thinking styles and remember that some of the biggest breakthroughs can come through building on
what’s already worked well in the past

Emotional control
You are aware of your emotional ‘triggers’ and how to control these to ensure you remain calm and
productive

Strengthening your performance

Stretching your strength to the next level


Seek out roles and activities requiring a high level of emotional control in order to be effective, e.g. negotiations, dealing
regularly with difficult customers, management, dealing with emergencies, etc.
Observe your own emotions, and how you do or do not control them effectively, learning to be completely honest with
yourself about how you feel at any one time. Use this to understand why you feel the way you do, and then make choices
about how you would like to respond to different circumstances before you do
Observe those within your team who do not have a high level of emotional control, offer to listen to their viewpoint and
provide them with feedback on how they are being perceived. Discuss ways to improve their level of emotional control
going forward

Overdrive risks and how to reduce them

You come across as dispassionate and aloof as you don’t share your emotions and feelings productively with others

If you find that you are seen at times as being dispassionate or aloof…
Ensure that you ‘dial up’ your emotions in a way that is visible to others to ensure that they understand how you are feeling
on topics where you need to show emotion

If you find that others do not understand your feelings or views on a topic that is important to you…
Take the time to explain carefully why something is important to you or how you feel about the subject, even explaining
that this may not be obvious in how you speak or act, but your feelings remain strong nonetheless

If you find that your control at work is causing emotional difficulties at home as you seek a ‘release’…
Make sure that you talk to others about your feelings and experiences both at work and at home and ensure that your
personal needs are being met at work

Leading
You take responsibility for influencing and motivating others to contribute to the goals and success of
their team and organization

Strengthening your performance

Stretching your strength to the next level


Volunteer to take responsibility for a team or project when your manager is away or as part of your development plan
Identify opportunities to demonstrate your leadership during times of uncertainty and change
Attend leadership events and be inspired by leaders who resonate with you

Overdrive risks and how to reduce them

You take a leadership role in inappropriate situations e.g. when someone is already performing this role well or when dealing
with a self-sufficient team. Others may see you as domineering or controlling

If you take a leadership role in inappropriate situations…


Learn about models which enable you to pick the right approach in the right situation, for example, Hay Managerial Styles
or the Situational Leadership model

If others see you as domineering or directive…


Remember to spend sufficient time asking questions, listening carefully and building consensus to ensure that everyone
agrees with a decision or plan

If people become overly dependent on you for advice or direction…


Be intentional in helping people to develop their own solutions, reach their own decisions and build confidence, with or
without your input

You are able to win agreement and support for a position or desired outcome

Strengthening your performance

Stretching your strength to the next level


Take the initiative in volunteering for assignments where you are required to persuade others to agree to adopt a product,
position or idea
Coach or mentor colleagues who could benefit from developing their ability to persuade others
Use both 'advocacy' and 'inquiry' behaviours when trying to influence – push and pull, tell and sell. This will balance the
use of rational persuasive argument with questioning and facilitation skills

Overdrive risks and how to reduce them

You try to influence most outcomes in your favour, irrespective of the importance of the issue. You may also indulge in debate
for debate‘s sake, rather than focusing on relevant outcomes

If you try to persuade others habitually, without considering the importance of the issue…
Remember to identify those issues which relate most closely to your own or your team’s goals and focus your energies on
these debates rather than on more frivolous issues

If you focus on the debate, rather than the outcome…


Regularly remind yourself and those you are in discussion with of the purpose of the debate and the intended end goal

If you find yourself using emotional tactics to win an argument…


Make sure that you check in with others as to whether they are in genuine agreement with you; if not, continue to explore
their views and modify your position accordingly

team’s success

If your network is becoming too much of a drain on your time…

Enhancing emotional control in high-pressure situations involves being aware of emotional triggers and learning to control them to remain calm and productive.

Regular self-monitoring and practicing techniques like deep breathing or cognitive restructuring can also be effective strategies.

Using both 'advocacy' and 'inquiry' behaviors in persuasive communication provides a balance between rational persuasive arguments and questioning or facilitation skills. This dual approach helps engage the audience more completely by not only presenting one's arguments ('advocacy') but also listening to and incorporating the audience's perspectives ('inquiry'). This can lead to more robust and accepted outcomes .

Structured feedback processes enhance a performance-oriented culture by regularly setting and reviewing goals, which helps in aligning individual contributions with team objectives.
