Many of us can think of leaders we have come to admire, be they historical figures, pillars of the industry we work in, or leaders we know personally. The leadership of individuals such as Abraham Lincoln and Margaret Thatcher has been studied and discussed repeatedly. However, you may have interacted with leaders you feel demonstrated equally competent leadership without ever having a book written about their approaches.
What makes great leaders great? Every leader is different, of course, but one area of commonality is the leadership philosophy that great leaders develop and practice. A leadership philosophy is basically an attitude held by leaders that acts as a guiding principle for their behavior. While formal theories on leadership continue to evolve over time, great leaders seem to adhere to an overarching philosophy that steers their actions.
What is your leadership philosophy? In this Assignment, you will explore what guides your own leadership.
To Prepare:

Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Module’s readings, that evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.
Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review.
Reflect on your results of the CliftonStrengths Assessment, and consider how the results relate to your leadership traits.
Download your Signature Theme Report to submit for this Assignment.

One of the skills of a leader is the ability to communicate effectively and efficiently. Title of Paper – Not Assignment # Your Name Walden University NURS 6053 Date Dr. E. Townsley ONLY 2 -3 PAGES ***WILL PUT RECOMMENDED NARRATIVE GUIDELINES WITH EACH SECTION – ALL ARE APPROXIMATIONS Title of Paper Comment by Elaine Wheeler Townsley: Introduction is approximately 1/3 page in length Introductory paragraph and purpose statement. This should provide your readers with their initial impressions of your argument, your writing style, and the overall quality of your work. On the other hand, a concise, engaging, and well-written introduction will start your readers off thinking highly of you, your analytical skills, your writing, and your paper. Your introduction is an important road map for the rest of your paper. Remember the estimations of these sections are only that – and then remember the purpose statement goes as a sentence directly after the introductory paragraph – it is not a separate paragraph and it is not a recap of the requirements. Personal Leadership Philosophies Comment by Elaine Wheeler Townsley: Approximately 1/3 page in length I would recommend discussing/defining what a personal leadership philosophy is and what is represents and why it is important when developing skills and characteristics as a leader. Develop and submit a personal leadership philosophy that reflects what you think are characteristics of a good leader. Use the scholarly resources on leadership you selected to support your philosophy statement. The response accurately and thoroughly describes in detail a set of core values. The response accurately and completely describes in detail a personal mission/vision statement. Ensure your information is validated with current and credible citations/references. ALL THAT IS NEEDED IN THIS SECTION IS: DEVELOP A PERSONAL LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY AND REFERENCE IT. INCLUDE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD LEADER IN THE PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT. THE NEXT THING YOU NEED IS A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR CORE VALUES WITH REFERENCES. THEN YOU NEED TO DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL MISSION OR VISION STATEMENT WITH REFERENCES. CliftonStrengths Comment by Elaine Wheeler Townsley: Approximately 1/3 page in length An analysis of your CliftonStrengths Assessment summarizing the results of your profile. The response accurately and completely provides an analysis and detailed summary of the CliftonStrengths Assessment. Ensure your information is validated with current and credible citations/references. Identify and describe in detail one key behavior that you wish to strengthen and why (references, year). Identify and describe in detail a second key behavior that you wish to strengthen and why (references, year). Development Plan Comment by Elaine Wheeler Townsley: Approximately 1 ½ pages long *****Remember this section is 50% of your paper. THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT EXPLAINS - How you are going to improve upon the first key behavior you selected and provide references in a paragraph to validate this information. NEED EXAMPLES AND REFERENCES. THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT PLAN THT EXPLAINS - How are you going to improve upon the second key behavior you selected and provide references in a paragraph to valdiate this information. NEED EXAMPLES AND REFERENCES. What is a vision with references? YOU CAN COPY THE SAME MISSION OR VISION STATEMENT YOU USED IN THE PHILOSOPHY SECTION OF THIS PAPER. Then you are to provide an explanation of how you plan to achieve your personal vision/mission. This plan should be about two paragraphs in length and validated with references. Be specific and provide examples. Combine with literature review or keep separate as identified below. The response includes a comprehensive synthesis of information gleaned from sources that fully support how to achieve a personal vision. Integrates 2 or more credible outside sources, in addition to 2 or 3 course-specific resources to fully support the responses provided. ****remember there are four (4) to five (5) references in this section of the paper. THE MOST MISSED REQUIREMENT IS NOT SUMMARIZING TWO LIT REVIEWS AND THEN HAVING AT LEAST TWO TO THREE MORE REFERENCES TO VALIDATE THE INFORMATION. Conclusion Comment by Elaine Wheeler Townsley: Approximately 1/3 page in length. Your conclusion/summary is your chance to have the last word on the subject. The summary allows you to have the final say on the issues you have raised in your paper, to synthesize your thoughts, to demonstrate the importance of your ideas, and to propel your reader to a new view of the subject. It is also your opportunity to make a good final impression and to end on a positive note. Your summary can go beyond the confines of the assignment. This section pushes beyond the boundaries of the prompt and allows you to consider broader issues, make new connections, and elaborate on the significance of your findings. You should make your readers glad they read your paper and gives your reader something to take away that will help them see things differently or appreciate your topic in personally relevant ways. It can suggest broader implications that will not only interest your reader, but also enrich your reader’s life in some way. It is your gift to the reader. References Formatting for references starting on this page.

Catherine Nwosu Your Signature Theme Report SURVEY COMPLETION DATE: 12-24-2020 DON CLIFTON Father of Strengths Psychology and Inventor of CliftonStrengths 63022458 (Catherine Nwosu) Copyright © 2000, 2006-2012 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved. 1 Catherine Nwosu SURVEY COMPLETION DATE: 12-24-2020 Many years of research conducted by The Gallup Organization suggest that the most effective people are those who understand their strengths and behaviors. These people are best able to develop strategies to meet and exceed the demands of their daily lives, their careers, and their families. A review of the knowledge and skills you have acquired can provide a basic sense of your abilities, but an awareness and understanding of your natural talents will provide true insight into the core reasons behind your consistent successes. Your Signature Themes report presents your five most dominant themes of talent, in the rank order revealed by your responses to StrengthsFinder. Of the 34 themes measured, these are your "top five." Your Signature Themes are very important in maximizing the talents that lead to your successes. By focusing on your Signature Themes, separately and in combination, you can identify your talents, build them into strengths, and enjoy personal and career success through consistent, near-perfect performance. Learner You love to learn. The subject matter that interests you most will be determined by your other themes and experiences, but whatever the subject, you will always be drawn to the process of learning. The process, more than the content or the result, is especially exciting for you. You are energized by the steady and deliberate journey from ignorance to competence. The thrill of the first few facts, the early efforts to recite or practice what you have learned, the growing confidence of a skill mastered—this is the process that entices you. Your excitement leads you to engage in adult learning experiences—yoga or piano lessons or graduate classes. It enables you to thrive in dynamic work environments where you are asked to take on short project assignments and are expected to learn a lot about the new subject matter in a short period of time and then move on to the next one. This Learner theme does not necessarily mean that you seek to become the subject matter expert, or that you are striving for the respect that accompanies a professional or academic credential. The outcome of the learning is less significant than the “getting there.” Intellection You like to think. You like mental activity. You like exercising the “muscles” of your brain, stretching them in multiple directions. This need for mental activity may be focused; for example, you may be trying to solve a 63022458 (Catherine Nwosu) Copyright © 2000, 2006-2012 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved. 2 problem or develop an idea or understand another person’s feelings. The exact focus will depend on your other strengths. On the other hand, this mental activity may very well lack focus. The theme of Intellection does not dictate what you are thinking about; it simply describes that you like to think. You are the kind of person who enjoys your time alone because it is your time for musing and reflection. You are introspective. In a sense you are your own best companion, as you pose yourself questions and try out answers on yourself to see how they sound. This introspection may lead you to a slight sense of discontent as you compare what you are actually doing with all the thoughts and ideas that your mind conceives. Or this introspection may tend toward more pragmatic matters such as the events of the day or a conversation that you plan to have later. Wherever it leads you, this mental hum is one of the constants of your life. Harmony You look for areas of agreement. In your view there is little to be gained from conflict and friction, so you seek to hold them to a minimum. When you know that the people around you hold differing views, you try to find the common ground. You try to steer them away from confrontation and toward harmony. In fact, harmony is one of your guiding values. You can’t quite believe how much time is wasted by people trying to impose their views on others. Wouldn’t we all be more productive if we kept our opinions in check and instead looked for consensus and support? You believe we would, and you live by that belief. When others are sounding off about their goals, their claims, and their fervently held opinions, you hold your peace. When others strike out in a direction, you will willingly, in the service of harmony, modify your own objectives to merge with theirs (as long as their basic values do not clash with yours). When others start to argue about their pet theory or concept, you steer clear of the debate, preferring to talk about practical, down-to-earth matters on which you can all agree. In your view we are all in the same boat, and we need this boat to get where we are going. It is a good boat. There is no need to rock it just to show that you can. Input You are inquisitive. You collect things. You might collect information—words, facts, books, and quotations—or you might collect tangible objects such as butterflies, baseball cards, porcelain dolls, or sepia photographs. Whatever you collect, you collect it because it interests you. And yours is the kind of mind that finds so many things interesting. The world is exciting precisely because of its infinite variety and complexity. If you read a great deal, it is not necessarily to refine your theories but, rather, to add more information to your archives. If you like to travel, it is because each new location offers novel artifacts and facts. These can be acquired and then stored away. Why are they worth storing? At the time of storing it is often hard to say exactly when or why you might need them, but who knows when they might become useful? With all those possible uses in mind, you really don’t feel comfortable throwing anything away. So you keep acquiring and compiling and filing stuff away. It’s interesting. It keeps your mind fresh. And 63022458 (Catherine Nwosu) Copyright © 2000, 2006-2012 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved. 3 perhaps one day some of it will prove valuable. Restorative You love to solve problems. Whereas some are dismayed when they encounter yet another breakdown, you can be energized by it. You enjoy the challenge of analyzing the symptoms, identifying what is wrong, and finding the solution. You may prefer practical problems or conceptual ones or personal ones. You may seek out specific kinds of problems that you have met many times before and that you are confident you can fix. Or you may feel the greatest push when faced with complex and unfamiliar problems. Your exact preferences are determined by your other themes and experiences. But what is certain is that you enjoy bringing things back to life. It is a wonderful feeling to identify the undermining factor(s), eradicate them, and restore something to its true glory. Intuitively, you know that without your intervention, this thing—this machine, this technique, this person, this company—might have ceased to function. You fixed it, resuscitated it, rekindled its vitality. Phrasing it the way you might, you saved it. 63022458 (Catherine Nwosu) Copyright © 2000, 2006-2012 Gallup, Inc.

In particular, the process of learning, rather than the outcome, excites them. YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS What makes you stand out? Chances are good that you not only buy books or check them out from the library; you also read them. Your investigative mind is restless until you have collected lots of information about factors that produce various outcomes. You are motivated to read more about topics of personal and professional interest. These can range from history to science, from politics to mathematics, from entertainment to sports, or from art to law. Because of your strengths, you are a rational thinker. That is, you exhibit good judgment and exercise sound reasoning. These thought processes serve you well whenever you set out to acquire true knowledge and/or gain a skill. You school yourself by reading, investigating, examining, experiencing, or receiving instruction in a subject. Driven by your talents, you probably place your confidence in professionals, especially when you need instruction or realize you can benefit from their experiences. Asking specialists questions and respectfully paying attention to their responses are just two ways you keep the peace. You are apt to count on these individuals to help you handle sensitive problems, make appropriate choices, or design workable solutions that people can accept. Instinctively, you prefer to register for rigorous courses of study rather than take easy classes. This often satisfies your need to do things that do not come naturally. You trust you can endure the unpleasantness and difficulties that accompany the expansion of your knowledge base, the acquisition of skills, and the conquest of deficiencies. It’s very likely that you value education and scholarship at any level and at any age. Your thirst for knowledge causes you to explore many topics of study or specialize in one particular subject. You thoroughly enjoy opportunities to acquire additional information, skills, and experiences. Questions 1. As you read your personalized strengths insights, what words, phrases, or lines stand out to you? 2. Out of all the talents in this insight, what would you like for others to see most in you? 63022458 (Catherine Nwosu) Copyright © 2000, 2006-2012 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved. 3 Intellection SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION People who are especially talented in the Intellection theme are characterized by their intellectual activity. They are introspective and appreciate intellectual discussions. YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS What makes you stand out? Because of your strengths, you are fascinated with the written word. Books, magazines, newspapers, correspondence and websites intrigue you. Whether you choose fiction or nonfiction, you enjoy facts and insights into human behavior. Ordinary and extraordinary experiences, philosophies of life, and research findings captivate you as well. Guided by your unique interests, you regularly add to your storehouse of knowledge whenever you read. Chances are good that you are the ideal example of a person with an open and agile mind. Thinking consumes a great portion of your time. You like to exchange ideas with individuals who are as well-read as you are. Your passion for the written word fuels your thought processes and lays the groundwork for sophisticated conversations. When you are alone, you probably reflect upon the thoughts of brilliant writers or the findings of notable researchers. By nature, you are apt to read books or publications that contain information and tips you can share with individuals you are training. Imparting knowledge, talking about your experiences, or passing along your skills provides you with much personal satisfaction. Instinctively, you are mentally quick and highly resourceful. You constantly consider how you can upgrade all sorts of things in your personal or professional life. You eagerly seek and find opportunities to better yourself. It’s very likely that you treasure books and other publications because they are rich sources of information. You regard the written word as a gateway to a vast world of new ideas. Your quest to interpret events, grasp facts or understand concepts appears limitless. Frequently you read to broaden your perspective on very familiar as well as altogether unfamiliar topics.

YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS What makes you stand out? Driven by your talents, you are willing to work with your coworkers, classmates, teammates, family members, and friends. You realize everyone sees opportunities, problems, solutions, and events differently. While you have opinions, you refrain from imposing them on others. You are good-natured — that is, you have a pleasant, cheerful, and cooperative disposition. Instinctively, you are happy to do exactly what is assigned to you, as long as you sense you are not being asked to carry more than your fair share of the workload. Checking those tasks off your list brings you much pleasure, and it helps you get along with others who notice your close attention to the work required of you. Because of your strengths, you are viewed as a practical thinker. You frequently seek out specialists who have the best information on a particular topic. You trust their answers and insights are correct. It’s very likely that you notice that your quality of life greatly improves when people appreciate your good-natured, even-tempered personality. Chances are good that you work industriously to finish all your daily assignments. You derive a great deal of satisfaction from reaching goals others have set for you. Meeting their expectations for the day undoubtedly is one of your top priorities. Questions 1. As you read your personalized strengths insights, what words, phrases, or lines stand out to you? 2.

Often they like to collect and archive all kinds of information. YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS What makes you stand out? Chances are good that you characteristically use reason to enlighten individuals about the intricacies of issues, processes, events, problems, or decisions. You often detect nuances in data and information that people generally overlook. You derive much pleasure from bringing key facts, points, and circumstances to the attention of others. Because of your strengths, you genuinely feel better about life when you can take the mystery out of complicated procedures. Often you outline in detail the steps to understand exactly what is happening and why. By nature, you tend to be earnest, businesslike, and dignified in what you say and do. Understandably, the books and publications you read are apt to reflect your no-nonsense approach to life. You aim to accumulate knowledge whenever you peruse — that is, studiously examine — the printed word. It’s very likely that you prepare for important conversations or discussions by collecting lots of background information. It is not unusual for you to set aside at least five hours of quiet time each week to consider what you have discovered. You are likely to use this time to expand your thinking. A new piece of material can send you hunting for additional evidence to support your theories, concepts, or proposals. Instinctively, you have a strong, no-nonsense, sober side to your personality. It explains why you often engage in conversations that delve into weighty or philosophical matters. You like to think deeply and carefully about various issues. Then you want to talk with serious-minded people who can help you explore, expand upon, question, or modify your thinking. Questions 1.

They are good at figuring out what is wrong and resolving it. YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS What makes you stand out? Instinctively, you are hardwired to check and double check what you do and what you are accountable for doing. You probably want to make sure everything is done right. You automatically identify areas where you need to upgrade your skills for creating structure or putting things in order. Chances are good that you automatically set out to do things right. As a result, you usually invent better ways to tackle assignments, studies, or chores. You are apt to make small yet necessary upgrades to enhance the efficiency and overall performance of various processes or individuals. It’s very likely that you typically decide what is to be done. You are as comfortable issuing orders as you are making demands. Your bold and confident style allows you to gain and maintain control over people, circumstances, timetables, plans, or material resources. Because of your strengths, you exhibit a passion for your studies or work. You often devise new ways to enhance your performance or upgrade how you do something. The instant you notice your results are substandard or your performance is mediocre, you begin correcting the situation. You feel impelled to fix things, including yourself. By nature, you regularly think about ways to correct or revamp what needs to be addressed at the moment. Today offers you plenty of opportunities to do things better. This explains why you avoid being distracted by what is likely to happen in the coming months, years, or decades. Questions 1.

In your view, there is little to be gained from conflict and friction, so you seek to hold these to a minimum. When you know that the people around you hold differing views, you try to find the common ground. You try to steer them away from confrontation and toward harmony. In fact, harmony is one of your guiding values. You can’t quite believe how much time is wasted by people trying to impose their views on others. Wouldn’t we all be more productive if we kept our opinions in check and instead looked for consensus and support? You believe we would, and you live by that belief. When others are sounding off about their goals, their claims and their fervently held opinions, you hold your peace. When others strike out in a direction, you will, in the service of harmony, willingly modify your own objectives to merge with theirs (as long as their basic values do not clash with yours). When others start to argue about their pet theory or concept, you steer clear of the debate, preferring to talk about practical, down-to-earth matters on which you can all agree. In your view, we are all in the same boat, and we need this boat to get where we are going. It is a good boat. There is no need to rock it just to show that you can. 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. HARMONY IN ACTION Words that might describe a person with dominant Harmony talents: practical concrete conflict-reducing collaborative agreeable task-oriented ACTION ITEMS F When working with others, stress the value of reaching consensus. F In discussions, look for the practical side of things. Help others see this practical side. It is the starting point of agreement. F 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. F Accept the responsibilities of being a good team member. Your willingness to adjust and your tolerance for differing views can become significant strengths. F 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. F 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. F Partner with someone with a strong Command or Activator theme. This person can help you confront the conflict head-on when all of your best efforts to resolve it have met with no success. Copyright © 2000, 2020 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved. SED_CSD_ResGd_en-US_102318N_bk 25 CliftonStrengths® Resource Guide T Strategic ThinkingR I E Input® THEME DESCRIPTION You are inquisitive. You collect things. You might collect information — words, facts, books and quotations — or you might collect tangible objects such as butterflies, baseball cards, porcelain dolls or sepia photographs. Whatever you collect, you collect it because it interests you. And yours is the kind of mind that finds so many things interesting. The world is exciting precisely because of its infinite variety and complexity. If you read a great deal, it is not necessarily to refine your theories, but rather to add more information to your archives. If you like to travel, it is because each new location offers novel artifacts and facts. These can be acquired and then stored away. Why are they worth storing? At the time of storing, it is often hard to say exactly when or why you might need them, but who knows when they might become useful? With all those possible uses in mind, you really don’t feel comfortable throwing anything away. So you keep acquiring and compiling and filing stuff away. It’s interesting. It keeps your mind fresh. And perhaps one day, some of it will prove valuable. POWER AND EDGE People with strong Input talents bring tools that can facilitate growth and performance. They love to provide relevant and tangible help to others. Their resourcefulness and curiosity lead them to store knowledge that can be culled and shared. INPUT IN ACTION Words that might describe a person with dominant Input talents: resourceful collecting inquisitive utility-aware generous well-read knowledgeable investigative ACTION ITEMS F Identify your areas of specialization and actively seek more information about them. F Make time to read books and articles that stimulate you. Schedule a regular time to do this. F Deliberately increase your vocabulary. Intentionally collect new words and learn their meanings. F You likely enjoy reading the dictionary and the encyclopedia. This might seem strange to some people, but for someone like you, it is a good way to strengthen your self-concept. F Devise a system to store and easily locate information. This can be as simple as a file for all of the articles you have clipped or as sophisticated as a computer database. F Identify situations in which you can share the information you have collected with other people. F Accept that you will never feel that you know enough. F Partner with someone with a strong Focus or Discipline theme. This person will help you stay on track when your inquisitiveness leads you down intriguing but distracting avenues. F Seek out subject matter experts who would be interested in knowing what you are learning and would find it stimulating to hear about the questions and ideas you are generating through your exploration.

SED_CSD_ResGd_en-US_102318N_bk 26 CliftonStrengths® Resource Guide T Strategic ThinkingR I E Intellection® THEME DESCRIPTION You like to think. You like mental activity. You like exercising the “muscles” of your brain, stretching them in multiple directions. This need for mental activity may be focused; for example, you may be trying to solve a problem or develop an idea or understand another person’s feelings. The exact focus will depend on your other strengths. On the other hand, this mental activity may very well lack focus. The theme of Intellection does not dictate what you are thinking about; it simply describes that you like to think. You are the kind of person who enjoys your time alone because it is your time for musing and reflection. You are introspective. In a sense, you are your own best companion, as you pose yourself questions and try out answers on yourself to see how they sound. This introspection may lead you to a slight sense of discontent as you compare what you are actually doing with all the thoughts and ideas that your mind conceives. Or this introspection may tend toward more pragmatic matters such as the events of the day or a conversation that you plan to have later. Wherever it leads you, this mental hum is one of the constants of your life. POWER AND EDGE The particular genius of people with especially strong Intellection talents stems from the processing that occurs when they think. When they have time to ponder and process, wisdom and clarity result. They can serve as a sounding board that helps others stretch to discover new ways to solve problems or enhance the quality of their work. INTELLECTION IN ACTION Words that might describe a person with dominant Intellection talents: introspective solitary intellectual philosophical in-depth reflective discontent thinking intense musing driven ACTION ITEMS F Set aside a few minutes every day just to collect your thoughts. Your thinking will be sharper and more effective. F Always take the time to consider big projects before the action begins. Your timely insights will allow the project to move forward intelligently and without backtracking. F Identify peers with whom you can have intellectual conversations on a frequent basis. The enjoyable exchange will stimulate your thinking and that of others. F List your ideas in a log or a diary. These ideas will serve as grist for your mental mill, and might yield valuable insights. F Take time to write. Writing might be the best way to crystallize and integrate your thoughts. F Explain to others why you need time for introspection. Although it might seem to others that you are slow to act, introspection allows you to refine your ideas; thus, for you, it is productive behavior. F Deliberately build relationships with people you consider to be “big thinkers.” Their example will inspire you to focus your own thinking. F Allow others time to think through your new idea after you have presented it for the first time. Realize that they might not immediately understand this new idea because they have not spent as much time as you have pondering it. F Try to meet people who share the same interests as you, and create intellectual conversations with them. Copyright © 2000, 2020 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved. SED_CSD_ResGd_en-US_102318N_bk 32 CliftonStrengths® Resource Guide E ExecutingT R I Restorative™ THEME DESCRIPTION You love to solve problems. Whereas some are dismayed when they encounter yet another breakdown, you can be energized by it. You enjoy the challenge of analyzing the symptoms, identifying what is wrong and finding the solution. You may prefer practical problems or conceptual ones or personal ones. You may seek out specific kinds of problems that you have met many times before and that you are confident you can fix. Or you may feel the greatest push when faced with complex and unfamiliar problems. Your exact preferences are determined by your other themes and experiences. But what is certain is that you enjoy bringing things back to life. It is a wonderful feeling to identify the undermining factor(s), eradicate them and restore something to its true glory. Intuitively, you know that without your intervention, this thing — this machine, this technique, this person, this company — might have ceased to function. You fixed it, resuscitated it, rekindled its vitality. Phrasing it the way you might, you saved it. 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. RESTORATIVE IN ACTION Words that might describe a person with dominant Restorative talents: problem-oriented driven investigative weakness-oriented responsive unintimidated insightful ACTION ITEMS F Seek tasks or 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. F Look for turnaround situations that others avoid. You will enjoy the challenge, and you will further your “can do” abilities and reputation. F You might be attracted to difficult problems, but also look for easy- to-solve problems that offer big results. F Let everyone know that you enjoy fixing problems. It comes naturally to you, although many people shy away from problems. You can help. F Think through the ways you can improve your skills and knowledge. Identify the courses you can take to plug any gaps. F Give yourself a break. Your strong Restorative theme might lead you to be overly self-critical. Try to redirect this theme either toward things about yourself that can be fixed, such as knowledge or skills (but not talent), or toward external, tangible problems. You may be your toughest critic. Develop your talent for truth-telling about yourself to include the honest truth about your valuable talents. F Allow other people to solve their own problems. You might want to rush in and solve things for them, but in so doing you might hinder their learning. Watch out for this, particularly if you are in a manager, coach, teacher or parent role.

The subject matter that interests you most will be determined by your other themes and experiences, but whatever the subject, you will always be drawn to the process of learning. The process, more than the content or the result, is especially exciting for you. You are energized by the steady and deliberate journey from ignorance to competence. The thrill of the first few facts, the early efforts to recite or practice what you have learned, the growing confidence of a skill mastered — this is the process that entices you. Your excitement leads you to engage in adult learning experiences — yoga or piano lessons or graduate classes. It enables you to thrive in dynamic work environments where you are asked to take on short project assignments and are expected to learn a lot about the new subject matter in a short period of time and then move on to the next one. This Learner theme does not necessarily mean that you seek to become the subject matter expert or that you are striving for the respect that accompanies a professional or academic credential. The outcome of the learning is less significant than the “getting there.” POWER AND EDGE People with strong Learner talents not only love to learn, but also intuitively know how they learn best. They can learn quickly, and when focused, they can keep a group, team and organization on the cutting edge. LEARNER IN ACTION Words that might describe a person with dominant Learner talents: curious interested inquisitive open-minded studious passionate competent ACTION ITEMS F Refine how you learn. If you learn best by teaching, seek out opportunities to instruct others. If you learn best through reflection, carve out this quiet time. F Designate yourself as an early adopter of new technology, such as a new point-of-sale or back-office system. You will learn quickly and be able to share important advances with your colleagues and peers. F Honor your desire to learn. If you can’t fulfill this need at work, take advantage of adult educational opportunities in your community. Discipline yourself to sign up for at least one new academic or adult learning course each year. F Be a catalyst for change. Others might be intimidated by new rules, new skills or new circumstances. Your willingness to soak up this “newness” can calm their fears and spur them to engage. Take this responsibility seriously. F Find ways to track the progress of your learning. If there are distinct levels or stages of learning within a body of knowledge or skill, celebrate your progression from one level to the next. If no such levels exist, create them for yourself. (For example, set a goal of reading five books on a subject.) F You love the challenge of a steep learning curve, so beware of learning plateaus. Seek opportunities to stretch yourself with more difficult topics, courses or projects. F Continually seek out opportunities to learn about challenging aspects of your business.
