The StandOut Strengths Assessment provides a starting point for anyone who wants to explore personal strengths, and the details of your StandOut Report are key to unlocking your unique genius to find your edge at work. 🌟 StandOut users recognize the importance of sharing these results within their organizations so that coworkers can see them for their best, but what about sharing with professional colleagues outside of your organization? We’ve added at “Share on LinkedIn” button to the top of the “My StandOut Report” page, allowing users to post their Top 2 Roles, Greatest Value Statement, and a link to encourage others to take the Assessment. Sharing this tidbit of information that is so meaningful to who you are will strengthen your professional profile in a brand-new way. 💪

I’ll start:

Equalizer and  Advisor

You put principle into practice. You have that rare ability to combine doing what is best with doing what is right -- and you will take a stand for both. Because you are both consistent and practical, you excel at designing policy to guide actions. People respect you and seek you out for your good judgment. Your need for clinical precision and exact calculation proves invaluable, whether you are serving clients or making high-stakes decisions for the team. You don't shy away from "life-and-death" decisions -- you were born to make them.

 

Your Greatest Value to the Team

You combine doing what is best with doing what is right.

 

1st Role as an Equalizer:

 

What is the right thing to do?" 

You begin by asking, "What is the right thing to do?"  You are sensitive to how everything in the world is interdependent, how movement in one part of the world causes everything else to move as well. Alive to this interconnectedness, you feel compelled to keep everything aligned. This need for alignment might be organizational--you sense when your world is disorganized and you get a kick out of restoring everything back to its rightful place. Or it might be ethical--you are acutely aware of who is responsible for what, and you are quick to take action 'when people don't live up to their responsibilities. You have no problem calling them out if they 'haven't followed through, and you are just as willing to call yourself out when you fail to do what you say you will. You see the commitments we make to one another as threads that connect us and allow us to share in each other's success. It pains you when you see these threads break, and so you are their passionate protector. At your best, you are our conscience, helping us realize how much we owe one another and how much we rely on one another. You hold us together.

 

2nd Role as an Advisor

 

What is the best thing to do?

You begin by asking, "What is the best thing to do?" and your thrill comes from knowing that you are the person others turn to for the answer. You don't necessarily want to be the person who actually makes the changes happen. Rather, what excites you is being valued by others for your insight and your judgment. Since you love to be the expert, you are constantly on the lookout for information that will help people make better decisions. When you look out at the world, you pay attention to fine shadings of detail, because these details will ensure that you give better advice. You know that the best advice is never general, but rather is tailored to the unique characteristics of the person's situation. You can be demanding and opinionated, but above all you are discerning: "good enough" is never good enough for you. There is always a better way, a better arrangement, a better solution, and you come alive when you are called upon to find it. And when you do, you don't question your decision. The reason people seek your advice is precisely because you are so assured, so confident in your intuition. Instinctively you know this, and you're proud of it.
