6. Team Space: How to work best with me
• Put my strengths to use in creating something. Ask for a tangible output that calls on the best of
me.
• Throw me in the deep end. If there's a project to begin that lacks details or data, I can get it off to a
good start. I am resourceful and can fill the gaps more quickly than most.
Recognize Me
Focus Me
Challenge Me
• Encourage me to experiment in uncharted territory. Give me a project outside of my area of
expertise.
• I'm not threatened by change or uncertainty, so where there's ambiguity, that is where you
should assign me. In fact, you should let me lead others through it.
• Dream with me. Get excited about possibilities with me. Your enthusiasm for my ideas is very
encouraging.
• Acknowledge me for my ideas. Make sure I get credit for them, and can put my name on them.
I value them above everything.
• Honor me by partnering me with practical people who can execute effectively on my insights
