ABOUT YOU
Everyone is different and there is no right or wrong way to be. These paragraphs describe how you likely show
8-20-2022
up in your natural style.

N'kiedra wants the safety features on her equipment to be in good working order. Safety
and security are important to her. N'kiedra prefers to work in an environment that is both
economically and physically sound. Accuracy is important to her. In conflict situations,
N'kiedra usually remains calm and cool-headed. When things calm down, however, she may
suffer some delayed reaction. To some people, N'kiedra may appear to be analytical. She
keeps her equipment in good working order and likes others who also use the equipment to
share the same concern. She can be characterized by her creativity and attention to quality
and detail. She is a real stickler for quality and systems. N'kiedra prefers that things be
orderly, and she will approach work in a systematic manner. When N'kiedra sees something
that is wrong, she wants to fix it. She is oriented toward achieving practical results.

N'kiedra sees herself as factual and "down-to-earth." She is more than casually interested
in "theory." When confronted with a problem, she will look for a method, a formula, a
procedure or a system to solve it. She, capable of routinely making daily decisions, usually
becomes cautious about the bigger decisions; she wants to be absolutely certain her decision
is correct. She tends to base decisions on the quality of work, not on efficiency. She gets
frustrated when well-established rules are not observed by others. She prefers to have
everyone adhere to the same rules and regulations. N'kiedra tends to make her decisions
after deliberation and gives weight to all the pros and cons. She is a critical and systematic
thinker, and this strength may not be easily recognized by others. She is the type of person
who will accept challenges and accept them seriously. She can be seen as a thinker whose
intuitive talents can bring divergent ideas to the forefront.

N'kiedra is usually soft-spoken, but her demeanor may be deceptive to those who work
with her. She may possess strong and unwavering convictions that are not always apparent to
others. Because N'kiedra wants to be certain she is performing her work assignments
correctly, she enjoys working for a manager who explains what is expected of her. She enjoys
analyzing the motives of others. This allows her to develop her intuitive skills. When N'kiedra
is deeply involved in thinking through a project, she may appear to be cool and distant. People
may often see N'kiedra as formal and reserved. She may be assessing the situation before
"letting her guard down" and may do so only when she feels comfortable with the
circumstances. She wants others to ask for her advice, rather than initiate the conversation.
She prefers to be certain her advice is correct. She is intuitive and is able to ask good
questions in order to get the critical, complete information she seeks. She does not like to
work for a manager who uses a confrontational management style. She tends to withdraw and
not express herself and may become unproductive if she feels threatened.

LIKELY TIME WASTERS


This section is designed to identify potential distractions that could impact your effectiveness and use of time.
8-20-2022
Possible causes and solutions outlined can serve as a basis for creating an effective plan for increasing your
overall performance.

1. Fear of Mistakes
Fearing mistakes is the mental process of focusing on negative outcomes and is often a preoccupation with
past mistakes.

Possible Causes:
Want to avoid criticism
Take criticism personally
Want to be seen as efficient and competent

Possible Solutions:
Practice focusing on past successes
For every mistake that you think might happen, write down two positive possible outcomes for a
completed task
Focus on several possible future outcomes

2. Looking For "Hidden Meaning"


The habitual practice of looking for hidden meanings demonstrates the inability to take messages,
information and people-signals at face value. It may indicate that issues and people are suspect or have
potential negative impact on you and your work.

Possible Causes:
Critical listening ability may cause you to read more into a situation
Want to look beyond the obvious
Have a need for additional information
Do not have a high level of trust in others

Possible Solutions:
Ask questions
Share initial evaluation/opinion with others

3. Overreacting To Constructive Criticism


Overreacting to constructive criticism is the inappropriate overt or covert response to feedback and
recommendations.

Possible Causes:
Have a high comfort level with past methods
Have high standards for work performance
Think that your way is the correct way
Don't see the benefit of doing things differently

Possible Solutions:
Practice listening without evaluating comments from others
Begin responding mentally with "that's interesting" or "that's a possibility" as a way of controlling
immediate negative response

Copyright © 2006-2022.
TTI Success Insights LTD. 14
N'kiedra Nisbett

LIKELY TIME WASTERS


8-20-2022

Communicate feelings with peers and supervisors

4. Waiting For Events To Happen


Although patience may be a virtue, being pro-active allows the decision-maker to be in better control of
events within their scope of influence.

Possible Causes:
Want to affect the here and now
Fear rushing into something will show unpreparedness
Need for high standards inhibits getting started

Possible Solutions:
Plan alternative solutions
Determine most likely scenarios
Implement a plan that best meets those needs without jeopardizing other scenarios

5. Tendency To Be Overly Neat and Orderly


The tendency to be overly neat and orderly is usually a compulsive behavior that overrides the need to
accomplish a task. More importance may be placed on cleaning off your desk than completing the actions
required (out of sight, out of mind).

Possible Causes:
Easily distracted by non-related materials in view
Need a systematic method of working
Catalog information for later retrieval

Possible Solutions:
Recognize that this is a strength as long as it is not over extended
