conflict; rather, they seek areas of agreement.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Driven by your talents, you sometimes seek out and listen to the opinions of others before you
express your own views. It’s very likely that you spell out things — that is, make plain or intelligible
what is not immediately obvious or entirely known. Because you are a realist, listeners tend to
appreciate your insights as well as your matter-of-fact responses to their questions. Providing truthful
and accurate information often calms people who fear the unknown. Because you interpret facts so
easily, you are apt to dispel rumors. As a result, individuals can begin to trust and get along with one
another better. By nature, you may appreciate experts who assure you that your thinking is sound,
your actions are correct, or your behavior is appropriate. Instinctively, you are inclined to finish
whatever is assigned to you each day. You admit there are things you could do better. When you act
on these ideas, you probably increase your chances of meeting the day-to-day expectations people
place on you. Chances are good that you may be the team member who is naturally congenial,
pleasant, and accommodating. Some people appreciate your willingness to let them do things their
way or state their views. Others might value your ability to listen, gather facts, or find common ground
when discussions become overly emotional. To some extent, you help certain teammates find ways to
compromise without losing the respect of others or jeopardizing their status in the group.
