Typical Areas of StrengthStrategic Thinkers are goal-oriented, precise, analytical, assertive, confident, and prepared. They tend to insist

on high standards, have a good eye for detail, and will usually push to get things done right.

Typical Areas of StruggleStrategic Thinkers may sometimes come across as rigid, cold, picky, pushy, dogmatic, or stubborn. In their

desire to achieve results, they may become overly critical, judgmental, or insistent on doing things their way.

Strategic Thinkers at work:

Preferred ActivitiesBecause Strategic Thinkers are highly task-oriented, they usually desire to control two key elements of any

project: goals and quality.

Contributions to the OrganizationA Strategic Thinker can contribute much to relationships and group productivity through opportunities to bring

together a broad array of facts, events, and concepts in order to develop long-range plans and improve

efficiency. You typically see the larger vision well ahead of others and are often considered a visionary.

Leadership StylePeople with the Stategic Thinkers profile lead most effectively by incorporating visionary thinking and superior

planning skills to initiate change while using their conscientious nature to keep quality high.

Task or People OrientationStrategic Thinkers are primarily task-oriented and usually prefer to work alone in order to focus on a project,

but are willing to work together with team members to accomplish team objectives and produce results.

Communication StyleStrategic Thinkers are usually gifted communicators who strongly believe that what they are saying is

absolutely correct and represents the right direction to take.

Strategic Thinkers and Issues

Stability/Flexibility FactorsTypically, Strategic Thinkers prefer a mixture of constant and variable responsibilities, as long as they can

make consistent progress toward their goals.

Stress Factors

Strategic Thinkers tend to experience stress from disorganization, inability to get results, or being unable tocontrol either the quality or direction of their environment.

Relationship Improvement SuggestionsRelationships may be improved by learning to appreciate the total effort required by others to reach the high

expectations and goals to which Strategic Thinkers aspire. These people may find it necessary to be willing to

compromise, if necessary, to gain the cooperation and participation of other team members.

Cooperation and Control FactorsPeople with the Strategic Thinker profile usually like to be in charge because they believe that they can see

the larger vision, and typically will have a conceptual plan to make it happen.

Underlying ConcernsStrong de-motivators for Strategic Thinkers are losing control, not meeting goals, or seeing the solution to a

problem without having the authority to implement it.

Strategic Thinkers and Finances

Financial ManagementStrategic Thinkers prefer to handle the larger issues of finances, but are rarely able to find someone who can

maintain their high standards of excellence and accuracy. Strategic Thinkers frequently take back the detailed

financial duties rather than delegating to someone else.

Budget and Financial Issues

People with the Strategic Tinker style tend to enjoy budget or investment planning as long as they can be incharge of carrying out the plan.

Purchasing TendenciesStrategic Thinkers know exactly what they want and will employ tremendous effort to find and purchase the

desired object.

Suggestions for Managers

Strategic Thinkers like Joe Soap will be an asset for the manager who can place this person in a position to

analyze, develop strategy, conceptualize the plan, and engage the Strategic Thinker to carry it out. Managers

must be careful to not keep their Strategic Thinker in the same place for long since they lose momentum and

energy when the environment is not challenging. Strategic Thinkers need plenty of variety and opportunitiy to

create and also need recognition for their contributions to the organization.

Dimensions of Personality

associated with it as shown below.

1. Adaptive ← Mid-range → Directing

2. Reserved ← Mid-range → Interacting

3. Objective ← Mid-range → Supportive

4. Unconventional ← Mid-range → Conscientious

Strengths and StrugglesThe strengths and struggles in this section of the report relate to Joe Soap's Personality I.D.scores for the four

individual dimensions. This information gives more depth to the report and helps you as a manager to focus on

the unique style of this individual.

There are many advantages of understanding a person's unique set of talents and motivations. Joe Soap will

enjoy operating in some environments more than in others simply because they are a better fit for this person's

natural style. A goal should be to align Joe Soap's work as much as possible with the personal profile

strengths and minimize exposure in the areas in which people with this profile typically struggle. On the other

hand, a manager can coach a team member to help improve weak areas. For example, a person who tends to

be impatient and is not a naturally a good listener can improve relationships through a focused effort to

improve these areas of struggle. Also keep in mind that strengths overdone become weaknesses.

objectively reviewed to help determine whether all of the descriptions apply.
