E I R ANALYTICAL T Strategic Thinking € PEOPLE EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED IN THE ANALYTICAL THEME SEARCH FOR REASONS AND CAUSES. THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO THINK ABOUT ALL THE FACTORS THAT MIGHT AFFECT A SITUATION. People with strong Analytical talents challenge others to “Prove it.” They take a critical approach to what others might quickly accept as truth. They search for the reasons why things are the way they are. They want to understand how certain patterns affect one another. How do they combine? What is the outcome? Does this outcome fit with the theory offered or the situation at hand? These are their questions. Others see them as logical and rigorous. Some may feel that they are negative or unnecessarily critical when they are simply trying to understand something. They bring an objective and dispassionate examination that enables them to find the root causes and effects, and then develop clear thoughts based on facts. ITS POWER AND EDGE Those with Analytical talents have valuable insights because they are able to uncover the essential facts needed for excellence in any endeavor. This type of thinking helps them and others become clearer about what excellence is and how it can be attained. IF ANALYTICAL IS A DOMINANT THEME FOR YOU: Direct your logical, objective approach to find the reasons behind important decisions. t Take the time to identify credible sources you can rely on. Determine the most helpful books, websites, or other sources that can serve as references. t Choose assignments or work in which you are able to analyze data, find patterns, or organize ideas. t When you are working with a group to plan a new initiative or project, be involved in the early stages. You will be able to assess the feasibility and direction of the plan before it gets too far into the process. IF ANALYTICAL IS A LESSER THEME FOR YOU: Having less intense Analytical talents does not preclude you from rigorous thought or objective measurement. It may indicate that you more readily accept things at face value or rely more on your intuition. t Among your top themes, find those that help you uncover the objective truth. Arranger or Harmony talents, for example, may help you invite others to share their observations and opinions. Their perspectives may help you see the big picture. t When you are looking to solve a problem or discover the root cause of an issue, start at the end result and work backward (toward the root cause), continually asking: “Why?” You may need to repeat this question several times until the root cause of the problem becomes apparent. t Develop your Analytical skills by sharing ideas with outstanding analysts who specialize in your area. t Listen to people with strong Strategic, Belief, or Empathy talents. Their insights and intuitions are difficult to measure, but their assessments are often accurate and valuable nonetheless. t You might perceive too much thinking or questioning to be “paralysis by analysis.” Be careful not to minimize or dismiss the value of asking good questions and thoughtfully examining the facts. t Accept that at times you will need to move before all the facts are in place. t When you feel the itch to take action, pause to research objective sources and seek others’ advice.

I R T CONSISTENCY E « Executing PEOPLE EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED IN THE CONSISTENCY THEME ARE KEENLY AWARE OF THE NEED TO TREAT PEOPLE THE SAME. THEY TRY TO TREAT EVERYONE WITH EQUALITY BY SETTING UP CLEAR RULES AND ADHERING TO THEM. Balance is important to those with strong Consistency talents. They are keenly aware of the need to treat people the same, no matter what their station in life, so the scales do not tip too far in any person’s favor. In their view, this leads to selfishness and egotism. People with especially strong Consistency talents see themselves as guardians of what is right and fair. Opposed to special favors, they believe that people function best in a consistent environment with clear rules that apply equally to everyone. This is an environment where people know what is expected. It is predictable and evenhanded. Here, each person has a fair chance to show his or her worth. ITS POWER AND EDGE People with strong Consistency talents can easily and quickly make judgments that are fair to everyone involved. As a result, people have confidence in them and see them as trustworthy. They can develop policies and procedures that help teams and organizations maintain their integrity while accomplishing their mission. IF CONSISTENCY IS A DOMINANT THEME FOR YOU: Focus on teaching the values of consistency and fairness to those around you to build trust. t t t Take time to think through the rules that are closest to your heart. These rules might be based upon certain values or guidelines that you consider “nonnegotiables” in your life. The greater your own clarity about these rules, the more receptive you will be to individuality within these boundaries. IF CONSISTENCY IS A LESSER THEME FOR YOU: If you lack the intensity and measure of Consistency talents, it does not mean you treat others unfairly. It may mean you need to be careful as you consider what constitutes equitable treatment. You may need to balance your definition or standard of fairness against that of others. t Your role in a group can be to level the playing field. Seek opportunities at work or in your community to help provide disadvantaged people with the platform they need to show their true potential. At times, you may need to resist the impulse to make exceptions because of individual circumstances. Learn the values and policies that your organization prizes the most. Think about the values that you cherish the most. Continue to clarify them so that you have a clear sense of what is non-negotiable to you. t Stay focused on performance. Cultivate a reputation for recognizing those who really deserve credit. Ensure that respect is always given to those who truly perform well. You can be the conscience of the groups you participate in. Clearly communicate your guiding principles and your intentions when working with others. You may tend to minimize the importance of rules and routines in shaping your actions and decisions. While this may work fine for you, others may see it as instability or uncertainty. t When you question the need for enforcement of a rule or policy, solicit the opinions of others to help you determine whether or not the guideline helps to accomplish a goal or provide meaningful direction before you react.

E I T HARMONY R Relationship Building € PEOPLE EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED IN THE HARMONY THEME LOOK FOR CONSENSUS. THEY DON’T ENJOY CONFLICT; RATHER, THEY SEEK AREAS OF AGREEMENT. People with strong Harmony talents want peace and try to bring others together. In their view, little can be gained from conflict and friction, so they seek to hold these to a minimum. Those with strong Harmony see what people have in common, even during conflict. They try to steer others away from confrontation and toward reconciliation. In fact, harmony is one of their guiding values. They seek to help individuals, families, and organizations work together. When others argue, they steer clear of the debate, preferring to talk about practical, down-to-earth matters on which everyone can agree. ITS POWER AND EDGE The particular brilliance of the Harmony theme is its natural practicality and preference for emotional balance. By reducing friction, people especially talented in the Harmony theme can enhance collaboration. They avert many contentious interactions before they start and quickly help others find a resolution. IF HARMONY IS A DOMINANT THEME FOR YOU: Use your Harmony talents to help people find common ground. t When working with others, stress the value of reaching consensus. t Build a network of people with differing perspectives on whom you can rely when you need expertise. Your openness to other viewpoints will help you learn. t Accept the responsibilities of being a good team member. Your willingness to adjust and your tolerance for differing views can become significant strengths. t When people argue, ask others in the group to share their thoughts. By increasing the number of voices in the conversation, you are more likely to find areas where all parties can agree. You can draw people together. t Polish your talents by taking a conflict-resolution course in an area such as nonverbal communication. The skills and knowledge you gain will combine with your talents to give you strength in handling conflicts. IF HARMONY IS A LESSER THEME FOR YOU: Although building consensus and ensuring people get along are not likely your top priorities, this does not mean you enjoy conflict or are unable to build strong teams. t Know when to include others’ thoughts and opinions. Your talents may provide a tolerance for or even a willingness to invite dissenting views. Speak up for the importance of including everyone’s ideas when it is appropriate, but understand that there may be times when you need to be selective. t Among your top themes, find those that help you during times of interpersonal conflict. Discipline or Focus talents may help you keep others centered on the purpose of the conversation or meeting. Activator or Strategic talents might help you set the stage for meetings or conversations that will include differing points of view. t Consider taking a class to fine-tune your interpersonal skills. Acquiring negotiation habits and skills may help you adapt to different styles and individuals and help you prevent or resolve future disputes or conflicts. Copyright © 2000, 2012 Gallup, Inc.

I R T RESTORATIVE E Executing « PEOPLE EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED IN THE RESTORATIVE THEME ARE ADEPT AT DEALING WITH PROBLEMS. THEY ARE GOOD AT FIGURING OUT WHAT IS WRONG AND RESOLVING IT. People with strong Restorative talents love to solve problems. While some are dismayed when they encounter yet another breakdown, those with strong Restorative talents are energized by it. They enjoy the challenge of analyzing symptoms, identifying what is wrong, and finding the solution. They like bringing things back to life by fixing them or rekindling their vitality. In short, they bring courage and creativity to problematic situations. ITS POWER AND EDGE Those with strong Restorative talents bring a solution-oriented mindset to daily problems. They readily take on projects that others believe “can’t be saved.” They can analyze a situation, identify potential shortcomings, and make the necessary adjustments. IF RESTORATIVE IS A DOMINANT THEME FOR YOU: IF RESTORATIVE IS A LESSER THEME FOR YOU: Every problem has a solution. Use your talents to find it and fix it. If you lack the intensity of the Restorative theme, it doesn’t mean you are unable to troubleshoot or solve problems. However, you may be inclined toward strengthening existing advantages or capitalizing on more promising opportunities. t Seek roles in which you are paid to solve problems. You might particularly enjoy roles in medicine, consulting, computer programming, or customer service, in which your success depends on your ability to restore and resolve. t Look for turnaround situations that others avoid. You will enjoy the challenge, and you will further your “can do” abilities and reputation. t You might be attracted to difficult problems, but also look for easy-to-solve problems that offer big results. t Let everyone know that you enjoy fixing problems. It comes naturally to you, although many people shy away from problems. You can help. t Think through the ways you can improve your skills and knowledge. Identify the courses you can take to plug any gaps. t When you fall short of your expectations, consider circumstances that were beyond your control and the actions you took or didn’t take that could have contributed to the outcome. Assess whether you have a blind spot that needs to be addressed to be successful next time. t Be honest if something is broken beyond your skill to repair. Learn as much as you can so you can describe what is happening clearly and hand it off to more capable hands. t Identify those situations where you repeatedly are not as effective as you want to be. Ask someone you trust for advice and feedback. Learn how they would have approached the situation. Be open to their perspective and identify actions that will help you succeed when faced with this situation again. Copyright © 2000, 2012 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved.

E R T I Influencing WOO « PEOPLE EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED IN THE WOO THEME LOVE THE CHALLENGE OF MEETING NEW PEOPLE AND WINNING THEM OVER. THEY DERIVE SATISFACTION FROM BREAKING THE ICE AND MAKING A CONNECTION WITH SOMEONE. Woo stands for winning others over. People with strong Woo talents enjoy the challenge of encountering new people and gaining their esteem. They are drawn to meeting new people. They want to learn others’ names, ask them questions, and find common interests upon which to build rapport. People with Woo among their top themes can enter a crowd and easily know what to do and say. Some people shy away from starting up conversations because they worry about running out of things to say. People with a lot of Woo do not. They see no strangers — only friends they haven’t met yet. ITS POWER AND EDGE People with strong Woo talents bring energy to social situations. They can connect with others and act as catalysts in helping people connect with one another. They have an exceptional ability to draw others out of their shell. IF WOO IS A DOMINANT THEME FOR YOU: Spend time every day interacting with numerous people. t Deliberately build your network of acquaintances. Tend to it by checking in with each person at least once a month. t Join local organizations, volunteer for boards, and find ways to get on the social lists of the influential people in your community. t Learn the names of as many people as you can. Build an index of the people you know and add names as you become acquainted. Include a snippet of personal information for each contact — such as his or her birthday, favorite color, hobby, or favorite sports team. t t Stay in touch with your peers in professional organizations. This will help you build your network and increase the number of experienced resources you can tap for help with any issues that arise. In social situations, take responsibility for helping put more reserved people at ease. IF WOO IS A LESSER THEME FOR YOU: Think about how you meet new people. That Woo is not a dominant theme for you suggests you are likely to be more reserved and move at a slower social pace. It does not mean you can’t or won’t meet new people. t Among you top themes, find those that help you break the ice and connect with others. For example, Input, Learner, or Relator talents can help you initiate conversations on topics of interest, gather information, or seek out people you can learn from. t Attend meetings or events with people you know. Lean on them to help you connect with others. t Before attending a meeting or event, make a list of current events, questions, or topics that you can leverage as conversation starters. t Partner with gregarious partners or friends. Ask them to help you network. They can introduce you to new people, and through conversation you can deepen the connection. Copyright © 2000, 2012 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved.
