They
want us to understand how we approach tasks.
Of course we know who we are, whether we want to fully admit it or not.
The latest craze is understanding whether you are a Pioneer or a Builder. Pioneers approach tasks as visionaries,
taking risks into the unknown. Precision
is relative and success can take many forms.
Builders approach the task through careful thought and incrementally
improve the process or system to get there.
Seems reasonable to me.
After my
10 minute survey, I have been diagnosed as a “Mild” Pioneer which means
somewhat on the flighty side the middle.
I have ideas, and the 75% solution is usually good enough, yet I am
impatient and want to get off the starting block as soon as possible. My grandmother had a saying which roughly
translated into “Stop bitching and just do it”.
I’ve always admired her for that and I guess I inherited Yaya’s genes on
how to approach work.
How this newfound
insight into my psyche will serve me in a far-off land of warriors who
culturally never immediately commit to anything until they get to know you over
many chai sessions, escapes me.
