A while back I reviewed Marcus Buckingham’s book Find Your Strongest Life: What the Happiest and Most Successful Women Do Differently and out of curiousity I decided to take his test to see what my lead and supporting roles were and they were right on – they describe me to a T,it’s almost scary.I’ll share the results with you now:
Your Lead Role – Advisor
Advisor
You begin by asking:
‘What is the best thing to do?’
Your thrill comes from knowing that you are the person others turn to for the answer. You don’t necessarily want to be the person who actually makes the changes happen. Rather, what excites you is being valued by others for your insight and your judgment.
Your best quality:
Your ability to find a solution
Always:
Search for data to support your advice
Be careful you:
Don’t get frustrated by other people’s failings
Your smartest career move:
Any job where you’re paid to be opinionated
Your Supporting Role – Motivator
Motivator
You begin by asking:
‘How can I raise the energy?’
You are acutely aware of the energy in the room, and you feel compelled to do what you can to elevate it. You do this with your outlook—you are an instinctively optimistic person.
Your best quality:
Your infectious energy
Always:
Step in and take responsibility for the group
Be careful you:
Don’t get sucked dry by emotional vampires
Your smartest career move:
Any job where you’re paid to keep a group of people excited.
