Your super power:
»AUDACITY«
You drive your team down the road to success.
Just a little theoretical background:
Autonomy Orientation and IdentityDeveloping and maintaining a clear identity of who you are is a central struggle for every founder. The degree of achievement will define your level autonomy, influence which roles you choose and shape your relationship with others. Control Orientation and Intention
Founders are geared to create impact, but vary on the extent they are guided by an inner calling. The orientation to control indicates how, as a founder, you hold yourself personally responsible to define strategies and drive implementation. People Orientation and Inclusion
Founders with a distinct people orientation will recognise that attaining desired outcomes is also a question of collaboration and inclusion. A high orientation will emphasise being part of a community and rely on others to cope with demands or changes.
More about Convincing Champion
Attributes
You are a role model to your team and your ideas continue to inspire people. You are therefore very often surrounded by people, who will let themselves be carried along by your energy.
Side Effects
Your energetic manner can also be misunderstood. Some people may find you too dominant or self-centred. All it takes to reach these people is a moderate amount of humility.
Potential
Champions have the potential to convince people of their ideas. You pull your partners along on the wave of success. You make use of your charm to motivate others.
Challenge
Everything has its price. But once it’s paid, few success stories mention it. Construct a Sacrifice Scoreboard to uncover these prices.
To create a Sacrifice Scoreboard, design a simple spreadsheet with four columns: Person, Achievement, Sacrifice and Pain.
There are three categories of people whose achievements you should look at:
- Famous people you admire
- People you know personally and admire
- Yourself
Try to find at least 3 to 5 examples of the first two categories. If you can not find the actual sacrifices online, make educated guesses. On a score out of 10, rate the pain you attribute to the required sacrifices. When you’re done, complete the table for yourself. How do you compare to the others?
Hopefully this perspective will make you realise there is much more ahead for you than all your past achievements. With this insight it will be easier to be patient and attentive to others and to continue to work with a little more humility.
