After you know your Working Geniuses and Working Traits, then you can identify the job-functions that fit with you (You can get this information from the report - The Right Job-Functions Report). There are four themes of Working Traits.
If your Trait is Inventor | Innovation, New Product/Service, New Business Model, New Startup Business; these things are not just your strategy, but it's in your blood. You like to contribute your Geniuses, time and energy to create new things. You never feel reluctant to build something from nothing. If you have to create something new every day, you will never feel it like work, but you will feel more like your hobby. |
If your trait isPromoter | For you, it's always has a way to sell and steal market share from your competitors. You know that it's not just about the product that makes you win, but it's also about the effectiveness of sales and marketing, and this is the area that you could win over your competitors. |
If your trait is Optimizer | You are always smarter than others in working efficiency and effectively. You always see gaps and possibilities to improve system and operation. For you, nothing is perfect; everything could be improved. You are willing to spend your time and energy to change people's behavior to do what you want. If you are working in the right role, you will turn the ordinary thing into the special thing. |
If your trait is Controller | You're always a person who ensures that everyone is going to the right direction. Accuracy, Quality and on Schedule is your nature. You are willing to use your Geniuses to execute and carefully review day-to-day progress until your team can achieve the plan. You know the truth that strategy is nothing if you can't execute it well. The main factor that could define the winner is the effectiveness of the execution. |
The last puzzle that you need to know to design strategy to your career path is What businesses and industries fit with you? What kind of culture and environment that you can perform well with the rich of supports? Although there are plenty of industries in global, we can categorize business industries into the three main groups.
If your Philosophy is Innovation | You prefer to work in the environment that allows you to trial and error, the environment that not point the finger to the failed projects, but motivate everyone to fail fast to learn as much as possible from the failure. You ok to deal with uncertainty and unpredictable projects, because you know that your projects have never been implemented from anywhere before. You're happy to work with people who have high responsive to changes. One of the key performance metrics in your environment is Speed because of everyone aware that the first one in the market likely to be the winner for innovation market. |
If your Philosophy isService Excellence | You fit with the environment which is customer-centric. People around you believe in creating the wow experience to customers. Customer Engagement and long-term customer relationship are the keys to success. Everything needs to be planned and organized well to provide beyond expectation service to customers. Everyone's also ok if they need to allow some flexibility in the process to satisfy customers. Perfect is an expectation to your environment. Everyone will do everything to increase customer retention rate and boost the number of repeat customers. |
If your Philosophy is Cost & Efficiency | You belong to the environment that always can predictable and have solid planning. People around you believe in Quality and Efficiency. Cost is always the primary factor in any significant decision. Taking many risks is not make sense for this environment. Here, star employee is not a person who is good at taking risks, but a person who superb in risk management. Cost reduction is the main focus of everyone because costing is the key factor that can predict future for this business. |
