Strong Judgement: You can read a room, read a situation and read people.
Humble, Hungry and Smart: You are low ego, high drive and sharp as a tack.
Solutions-Oriented: You can identify problems (which you see as “opportunities”), and in the same breath you are proposing solutions.
People-Oriented: You like interacting with people (IRL as well as virtually) and can start a conversation with someone you don’t know – even if you have to push yourself outside of your comfort zone.
GSD: You don’t need anyone hovering over you because you Get Stuff Done.
Servant Leader: You believe that if you help others succeed (clients, teammates, etc.,) it helps you succeed. Win-win.
