HERO
Your most dominant identity is that of a hero.
First and foremost, being a hero is about your
strength of character. Your desire to fight for
what you believe and want to achieve. Hero's
like to win and when in a team at their best are
selfless. You tend to place the needs of the
team first before your own aspirations.
As a hero, you are determined to win and
surpass each milestone you have set. You are
mentally resilient, courageous, intuitive and
have coping strategies for difficulties you may
come across in life.
How does this affects you and
those around you?
Anything that is not in balance comes with its
own challenges. If you let your hero spirit
take over your identity, it can get you so
focussed and intense that you might be
perceived to be selfish.
At its extreme, you can come across as a
bully driven by ego and greed. You could be
interpreted as autocratic, arrogant, and
jealous. Being so focussed on your own
goals can sometimes blind you to the
obvious.
That will prevent you from looking at other
possibilities and options. If anyone tries to
challenge this notion, you could become
dismissive and forceful when you are
challenged.

ENGINEER
Your second identity is an engineer.
As an engineer, you can take complex problems
and simplify them. You are realistic in the
purpose of the task and the capabilities of the
people and equipment you need to be
successful.
You believe the world could be a perfect place if
people followed procedures and firmly believe
that you have a part to play in this journey. One
of the key strengths is that you bring people
back to reality when they may go off on flights of
fancy and bring the focus back to results.

DISCOVERER
Your third identity is the discoverer. Your
direction of travel is crucial. Therefore, you must
stay connected with the bigger picture, your
purpose, and the real reason why you are doing
what you are doing.
The story of our lives, team or organisation is
vital not only to ourselves but those we need on
the journey. Can you speak about your
long-term dream with passion and energy? Is it
clear about what you must achieve? Can you
see the team around you that you will need if
you are successful? If not take time to work on
this area daydream and think big. Our dreams
should also scare us as that helps us stay
focused and are pushing our potential because
of that fear.

ANGEL
Your least dominant identity is an angel. You
could be perceived as someone who is focused
on winning and achieving than consider the
impact it has on the team.
Although it can help you to become a good
leader, it can also lead you to disregard the
team, the angel that gets you there. You must
enhance your communication style by ensuring
you are more open and that you are willing to
listen to others to understand their perspective.
We lead through emotions and that it
is
essential that people feel they are respected
and their opinion counts (this is not about
democracy or consensus just the fact we have a
part to play). You must ensure that you build
rapport with people to build strong teams. This
means taking time to get to know them
personally. Very few people get to the top of
their profession without a team around them.
