INSTRUCTIONS
1. LOOK AT THE WHEEL. IT HAS 8 SEGMENTS. EACH OF THE 8 SEGMENTS REPRESENTS A TRAIT OR AN ELEMENT
REQUIRED TO MAXIMISE YOUR WORKING ACUEMEN. REFLECT ON THE TOP 8 TRAITS CAREFULLY AS THEY FORM
THE IDEAL QUALITIES REQUIRED TO PERFORM BRILLIANTLY IN YOUR ROLE.
2. NEXT, ADD ONE OR TWO WORD TRAITS ALONGSIDE EACH OF THE SEGMENTS. YOU SHOULD THEN HAVE 8
DISCRIPTIONS FOR WINNING TRAITS FOR THE ROLE CIRCLING THE OUTSIDE OF THE WHEEL.
3. THEN, SCORE YOURSELF FROM 0 (LOWEST) TO 10 (HIGHEST) ON EACH OF THE SEGMENTS OF THE WHEEL.
EXAMPLE* YOU MAY HAVE CHOSEN DISCIPLINE SO ASK YOURSELF - “HOW MUCH SELF CONTROL DO I REALLY
HAVE AT WORK?” OR “HOW WELL DO I ORGANISE MY WORKING LIFE?
4. PLACE A DOT WHERE THE SCORE SITS WITHIN EACH SEGMENT AND THEN CONNECT THE DOTS
