1. I should say that the CPQ results somehow mysteriously reflect the person I am quite well. Being an engineer, I am a stickler to details, often known on straining every nerve to marshall my ideas and husband the available resources. I pay attention to all details and have a somewhat undesirable reputation for being a stickler. Well! That is my job, and I have been changed over the years from a jovial romantic to a person very serious about even inconsequential issues, since in my line of job, prophylaxis is often the answer to avoid future problems as we realize that changing horses in the midstream in hardware is futile and disastrous:)
From the above buildup, I wasn't a tad surprised about having scored highly in Harmony, Mastery, Collective, Thinking, and Present. Having been raised in India, I believe in the proverb, " Live! Let Live" Hence, I believe in Good/Evil principle too.
I scored low on "future" and this is a surprise since I focus too often on Long term strategies.
2. The scores are like a mirror and are out there for our own improvement. I try to be practical in business dealings since I can't be applying the fact that everyone out there is good:) I need to be more objective. Also, I should think about long term relationships.
3. I am sometimes too compassionate that I have often carried the burdens of others in my team by doing a lion's share of their work too. My nature has also been impractical by not having claimed any credit for these works too. I should be more practical and although I still believe in helping others, I should be careful in not getting left behind holding the bag due to others' mistakes.
Vadhi, most of my scores seem close to yours. Being from India, I too believe in equality for all independent of the status.
ReplyDeleteI usually have issues defining priorities for my work, since I tend to give preference and go out of the way to help friends and colleagues at work. Some of it is part of the job but it sometimes affects the priorities with my boss. And it takes sometime to level set the expectations. Not sure if avoiding to take the extra burden would negatively affect the relationships.
