Characteristics, Competences & Potentials

Warm-hearted and caring, and always has the best interests of others in mind; want to ensure fairness and are sympathetic to the needs, problems and issues of others, especially if they believe others are being treated unfairly; are the type of person who empathises with others and forgives them for whatever they have done to cause a problem, and will always be very kind and considerate in their dealings with others.

A good planner is detail-oriented and has organised qualities. A good planner should be able to see both the big picture and the small details to ensure that all tasks are completed on time and effectively.

Proactive people identify opportunities and complete tasks even before they are assigned to them. They foresee future developments and act accordingly.

They are usually very inventive and always looking for a better way to do everything, even if what they have already works well. They believe that there can be no progress without change, and the more change, the more progress. If things don’t change often enough, this person may do something to bring about change so that things don’t get “stale”; includes the ability to change perspective when solving problems

Patient people wait as long as it takes to get or achieve something, be it an answer from someone or the completion of a task or project. Patient people often feel that they are not able to do their best work when they are pressured to do or complete things at a faster pace. They are often found in supportive roles because they are most likely to listen patiently to other people’s problems and questions, which can be a very valuable quality in some professions.

The detail-oriented person is meticulous and must have everything in order, otherwise they feel very uncomfortable. The detail-oriented person loves to analyse all facts and information and make sure that all facts are correct and related to all known issues. Precision, accuracy, organisation and neatness are the cornerstones of the detail-oriented person.

We all know the “workaholic” who can only relax or be happy when he or she is doing many things at once. Because they have mastered the art of doing so much, they can be impatient and demanding of others who stand in their way of achieving their goals or who do not seem as “committed” as they are to what they are doing. They probably enjoy competition in all aspects of their lives. This can extend to sporting activities and even watching sporting events where they can at least witness high stress and high demands, even if they are ‘relaxing’.

People with a high level of self-confidence don’t actually need other people to tell them they are right or doing something well, they know it. They enjoy and appreciate hearing that, but they also won’t stop functioning if they don’t get a regular dose of encouragement. In extreme cases, they can appear arrogant and assertive, insisting that things be done “their way” because they are very confident that their way is the right way. Often it is.

The tolerant person is open, accommodating and willing to compromise or accept other ideas and ways to achieve goals or get their work done. They allow more freedom and may be inclined to “bend the rules” now and then to help others.

The ability to define, express and skilfully assert one’s own interests and goals. Furthermore, the willingness to compromise and the knowledge of effective negotiation strategies and tactics, as well as very good communication skills, creativity and result orientation are obvious.

A person who neither needs nor likes other people “looking over her shoulder”. They know how to get themselves to the goal and do not want anyone to supervise everything they do. She works best when you leave her alone, especially when she knows she is very good at what they do.

An ambitious person who wants to progress and drive their career forward; they will give their best at work and very much enjoy taking on challenges, but also want to present the results themselves to make a name for themselves.

A systematic person is one who is structured and does things in a planned, orderly way; they plan their work precisely and also work according to it. Your desk and office will probably be tidy and everything is in its place.

The decisive person is one who does not hesitate to make a decision and is very confident in their ability to sort through information and act accordingly. Once they have made a decision, it will be difficult to change their minds unless very strong and convincing evidence to the contrary can be presented. They are more willing to make somewhat riskier decisions than the undecided, especially if they have confidence in the source of the information on which they base their decision.

The analytical person is most inclined to make a decision only when they have all the facts and figures and get to the bottom of things. A high level of detail orientation and patience are also often associated with this trait. This can be a very valuable asset in many professional positions where all sides of an issue need to be thoroughly examined before a decision can be made or a further step taken.

This person is open-minded and flexible in their approach to new ideas or things presented to them. She will be willing to change her methods and procedures to accommodate others and achieve harmony and compatibility. Even if they believe their way is the best way, they are at least open to compromise to achieve balance and harmony.

This kind of person believes that things have to be done without much consideration for other people’s feelings. In the workplace, they are often the ones who have to do the difficult tasks that many other people are reluctant to do or simply cannot bring themselves to do. They appear tough and untouchable, sometimes distant and unforgiving towards anyone they see as a problem or “enemy”. They are not afraid to say and do what they think is right and appropriate, and “political correctness” is probably not in their vocabulary.

As a rule, entrepreneurial individuals share some important characteristics: passion, curiosity, resilience, a considered approach to risk and the ability to identify and seize opportunities; they think and act as if they themselves will benefit from the success of the business, see the success of a task or project in the context of the business, including a basic commercial mindset for profit and loss.

A person who likes change and sees it as an opportunity to change things and learn something new.

People who are highly self-driven do not need external motivation: they see immediately what needs to be done, what should be corrected, what can be done even better. Your ambition makes you a “doer”, you always work on 100% results.

Social competence encompasses various skills that are important for social interaction with others. These include, for example, empathy, the ability to engage in dialogue, politeness, the ability to deal with conflict and the ability to make contact.

Self-management includes independent motivation, meaningful goal setting, good planning, time management, organisation, the will to learn new things and monitoring success through one’s own feedback.

A ROCK STAR is a person who combines a high willingness to perform and a high potential for development, combined with leadership skills and the ability to act as a moderator and catalyst in the team.

A CATALYST has a positive sense of empowerment for the individual and has a very positive impact on the overall performance of the team.

A LEADER masters the art of motivating a group of people to achieve a common goal.
