TAKE ACTION TO MAXIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL Remember that every problem has a solution. Find the answers.
• Look for roles in which your success depends on your ability to solve problems. You might particularly enjoy medicine, consulting, computer programming or customer service. • Seek out tough turnaround situations that others might avoid. You will enjoy the challenge of revitalizing something, and you will build your reputation as a valuable partner. • Celebrate your successes. Difficult problems might entice you, but also acknowledge easy-to-solve issues that have big results. • Tell others that you enjoy fixing problems, and offer to help. Many people shy away from difficulties, but problem-solving comes naturally to you. • Give yourself a break. You might be overly self-critical and your own toughest critic. Try to redirect your energy toward things about yourself that you know you can fix or toward external, tangible problems. WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS • Others might think that all you see are their flaws and shortcomings. Remember that there are times when people need you to see their successes and give them praise. • You tend to focus on processes, not people, and you might automatically rush to solve every problem. Sometimes others need to solve their own problems, so try to give people space to experiment and find their own solutions.
