Natalie Furrier's Executive Summary

Purpose Respondent Venn Diagram

professional persona. The data collected from Outside Leadership Communication Evaluation Larger Group Smaller Group

Move forward, it is a goal of my to make my voice in larger groups mirror that of smaller
groups.

The graph above shows the deviation in responses and the average from my self assessment.
Surprising Findings
I was very surprised at how similar the answers were off all
of my respondents as all answers gathered decided that my skills and communication
styles were more similar to an Analytical. When discussing results after with my group, I told
them that I was harder to place on one point on the chart as my confidence changes my
communication styles to my environment. While I have Driver attributes, these are naturally
displayed when I maintain confidence.
Analyzing my peoplestyle
As seen in responses in Figure 2, there are divergent responses, which stem from the
nervousness of being in front of a larger group. The difference is shown in responses
with a common theme of a lack of confidence in presentation, while showing a large
personality in small groups. When in smaller groups my responses proved I speaking
up much more and am very task oriented. However, my nerves of being in front of a
larger group led me to become more analytical, hindering my driver confidence.
Going forward, using the method of comparing and contrasting how my professional
persona is being perceived in smaller versus larger settings will assist me in acting on
these deviations. By identify the difference in my group talk I will work on being more
confident in my inner voice by trusting my capabilities.
 Culture Map Analysis 2.5 Culture Map
The cultural map visualizes the average deviation of survey respondents from my own in eight scales. The
scales; evaluating, persuading, leading, deciding, disagreeing and scheduling vary minimally from that of my 2
own. My tendency to be goal-orientated allows me to bring these attributes more naturally to the professional
environment than communicating and trusting. The minimal difference in these categories of the culture map 1.5
provide reassurance to the accomplishment of previous goals to improve these categories. Continuing into
the future, I will continue to adapt my abilities to better communicate across cultures in these categories but 1
focus more dedication on the categories with higher deviation.
0.5
Communication

more accurate depiction of my communication styles. At the beginning of the semester, I classified my

Trusting
The difference in myself assessment and that of my respondents in the trusting scale is seen as a positive
point of accomplishment of a goal I set for myself this semester. When discussing PeopleStyle
orientation as a group and all members but one was similar in that they formed relationships through the
completion of task. To have full team compatibility, I made it a goal to work to build our relationship through
her route of connection. Seeing the difference in my previous respond surprised me, but reassured I have
progressed on this continuous goal.
Core Values
The survey respondents most frequent core value portrayed, appearing on six surverys, was hard-working. I
felt this was due to my team members noticing that I was working on previous feedback given. After receiving
360 Evaluations I’ve practiced on speaking up in team meetings and guiding decision making. By speaking up
and over-communicating on ideas or adjustments, I have been able to prove to others in a professional
environment my capabilities in working diligently on the task at hand.
Conclusion
This document will allow me to reference to be evidence for my
progression and accomplishment of goals moving forward. I have
been successful in adapting my communication and trusting
strategies to best fit my team and team strategy. This semester I will
continue to progress in proving my Driver capabilities in larger
settings by practicing expressing my inner loudness outwardly in
professional settings.
