talentsthe tasks you pursue with passion. You'll learn how your natural
strengths complement those of your coworkers and how, joining forces,
you can resolve on-the-job dilemmas.
YOURE THE THINKER
kennedygilliam, as a blue-purple you are a visionary. You
ponder existence. You need to ask the question why. The
conclusions you reach allow you to see the big picture, both in
terms of generating new ideas and improving on others ideas.
With a focus on the future, you view projects as if they were
already completed. This foresight enables you to create original
things with few missteps.
Your Team Contribution
Youre a great motivator. When you question how things were done
and offer insights about others motivations, you challenge them to
think. This is your great contribution. You improve the status quo by
seeing empowering possibilities. Problems find solutions and ideas
turn into reality.
How to Celebrate a Blue-Purple
Lightly ground a Thinker by tempering his expectations without
discouraging his visionary approach. Show appreciation for his
constant flow of big-picture concepts. Its how the blue-purple has
fun. Ask him to imagine what can be done and watch his passions
soar. But be aware: your team member needs steady
encouragement and advice. Without it, he can suppose that
something has been done for the wrong reason, which takes him off
track.
*Remind the blue-purple not to think so much. Otherwise,
his fantasies about doing something new can erode his
confidence. Too many mental pictures can make life
difficult, even impossible. Situations or people simply will
not measure up. Unwittingly, the blue-purple can demand
the unattainable, especially from himself.

maximizing profitability. Use this proven, beyond self-perception advice
to create a more positive career path free of detours.
YOURE THE PIONEER

clearly in your head as if they are already completed. This gives you
the ability to perform tasks with very few missteps and minimal risk.
Others see this quality as self-confidence; they think you always know
what youre doing, even when you dont. When you understand an
overall concept, theres nothing you cant do. Your dramatic flair and
enthusiasm enlist others to initiate innovative products and services.
Investing in You
Use your big-picture thinking to develop new markets, new ideas,
and new businesses. You see whats missing and you know how to
get things done. Youre a great motivator who feels the need to
make an impact by expressing ideas.
*Creative fields such as advertising, marketing, sales, design, trial
law, or any area that allows you to investigate the unknown will
bring you the greatest happiness. A word of caution: working in
environments that encourage questions is a vital element to your
success. Otherwise, youll become frustrated and probably react by
doing something you later regret.*
How to Motivate a Blue-Purple and Black
Get this pioneer to imagine new possibilities by asking him about
ideas. Watch him light up! But dont stop there. Ask devils advocate
questions to ensure that your co-workers vision can actually be
realized. If you hear lots of emotion in his voice, have him stop and
take a breath. Chances are hes ignoring concrete facts, making
false assumptions, or harboring unrealistic expectations. Discuss
with him why something is being done or if theres an easier way.
Compliment what your co-worker has achieved. If you can, get him
to appreciate end resultsthough theyre probably not exactly
aligned with his original planyour associates work energy will

POSSIBILITIES
Your Natural Talents
Everyone knows how easily you can come
up with new ideas and ways of doing
things. You salivate for a mental challenge.
This makes you a natural in the business
world. To construct something new is a big
turn-on. It allows you to see your own
potential. You love to be included in the
developmental part of a project. In fact,
you're going to tell them your idea, even if
they don't ask.
*Your dramatic expression helps
motivate those around you. You
encourage the potential in others. Your
sharp tongue, however, can get you
into lots of trouble, and sometimes
people will not hear your message
correctly. If your facts are exaggerated,
others will lose faith in your information.

without asking for help. You feel like an explorer. You go to extremes to
make sure that co-workers and customers are happy. You are

become so busy saving others that you lose yourself. Don't try to fix
things until you've heard everything.
DECISION PROCESS
STRENGTH: VALUE ASSESSMENT
Getting it Done
You're disciplined and keep others in line. When
you are loyal or have ownership, you fight to
keep what is yours.
*You're an overachiever and need autonomy
to be at your best. You like to get things
finished without being interrupted. Still, you
need for co-workers to be loyal to you and,
in turn, you are genuinely concerned about
them.
WEAKNESS: YOU'RE TOO UNSTOPPABLE
At work, you can ask too much of yourself or others. Take things as
they come. Do not expect others to protect you. You'll feel more
8
grounded and more in control. Be honest with yourself and accept

frustrate you in the end. You won't be any wiser from the experience.
WORK ETHICS

OPPORTUNITIES
You in Action

those around you. Getting excited about what
you already enjoy releases unlimited passion.

not buying into a person or situation. They
will see new avenues that will create more
results with less effort.

about what is not working in your life. This rugged pace runs down your
battery and makes it difficult for you to know what you really want to do.
Others can even see you as rigid.

managing an interview or your fast-paced workday.


ADAPTED BEHAVIORAL STYLE

workplace or relationships. Incorporate this new behavior into your
daily goals. Youll become less stressed, empowered with a forceful
more conclusive career path.

with what could work and with confronting areas that you normally
avoid. As you constantly ask yourself why you felt or did something,
you begin to notice empowering possibilities.

something. Do not forget to stick to the facts and show
others your bold expressions of concern. You are
experiencing strengthening personal growth. Gravitate
towards fun things that you can manage.



Managing Actions and Reactions

intensive need to make a contribution, possess unique thought-
provoking powers or tend to overreact. Power Move advice will guide
you on how to maximize actions or manage reactions into a successful
career path or a productive day.
Manage Quick-Fix Problem-Solving
Dont jump into projects. Allow yourself time to clarify requirements,
task responsibilities, and realistic timelines. Make the effort to lighten-
up your overly serious approach. Its essential for your success.
Power Move: Your sense of urgency and overly serious task
approaches can make work more laborious. If you are feeling
somewhat stiff or sounding rather formal, back off. Rethink
your purpose and expect easier, cost-cutting results in less
time. Enjoy the workplace experience and success is a given.
Determined to Make a Contribution
Your belief in co-workers gives them the confidence to accomplish
more than they ever imagined. Workplace skepticism is even
diminished by your supportive listening skills. You enable co-workers to
e innovative in solving problems and developing new products.
Power Move: Do not allow your need to fit in keep you from
speaking up. You have the diplomatic skills to bridge
arguments and reverse negative situations, making even the

10
arguments and reverse negative situations, making even the
impossible possible. Chances are, youll be amazed at how
your concerned approach can create win/win situations.


BOTTOM-LINE PERSPECTIVES
In this evaluation area you learn how to translate your ongoing,
internal conversations into profitable actions. Sharpen your
goal focus by examining the pros and cons of your
assessment. Use the power move suggestions to make a shift
toward less stressful, more productive ways.
Methodical Goal Planner
You usually make the right decisions about career goals. Weighing the
pros and cons is your talent. You know if you want something before
you start pursuing it. Likewise, your methodical considerations
encourage co-workers to balance their task perspectives.
*Create Clarity: Dont you sometimes second-guess a
thought beyond whats necessary? Consider adjusting your
goals and taking risks based on gut instinct. In
relationships with your co-workers, try sharing your feelings
or doing non-work activities together. This openness will go
a long way towards building trust.
Co-Worker Objectivity
In the workplace, you dont get tangled up with others personal lives.
Carefully assessing whether to get involved is an automatic process
with you. You intuitively know if working within a certain group or person
will be to your advantage as well. Your non-threatening manner attracts
co-workers like a magnet. They want to share their concerns.
*Create Clarity: Just because you know how to direct co-worker
relationships does not mean that you will act upon this wisdom.
Trust more in your own ability by freeing your mind from self-doubt.
This move will permit your smart, people-oriented inner voice to
speak. Your co-workers will respond positively, producing well
beyond your expectations.
Co-Worker Motivated Decisions
Your concerns and apparent needs pull your life together. You have
magnetic appeal. Your take-charge approach makes you experience
life as an ongoing change process. Many times, however, new
problems appear quite familiar.
*Create Clarity: Don't let core reactions run your life. Initially you
think only about others, then only about yourself. This inner debate
can lead to dead-end career paths. Concentrate on prioritizing
yourself first. When real change starts with you, disappointments
will dwindle.
Action-Oriented

11
You have a charge-ahead, action-oriented personality. Others see you
as an exciting burst of energy. After some consideration, you just do it.
Your forthright push clears new paths, disrupts non-productive routines,
and creates opportunities. Often, though, your ready-fire-aim persona
makes decisions you later regret.
*Create Clarity: Slow down and you will accomplish more. Just
doing things for the sake of getting them done is a tough way to
achieve valuable results. Muster the self-discipline to slow down
and think things through before you act. You will become less
disoriented, more at peace. What you start will become more
about what you need to do.
Thought-Oriented
You are entrenched in your thoughts. Your mental activity reveals new
paths for yourself and those you support. Later you decide if you really
want to follow those paths. Your beliefs and concerns can open doors
that once appeared closed.
*Create Clarity: Obsessive thoughts and unnecessary concerns can
cloud your mind. Find the courage to establish limits and reach
conclusions. Co-workers will see you as a person who knows how
to turn thoughts into actions. You know whats best. Just do it.
