R2 Strengths Profiler
4M Model
The R2 Strengths Profiler measures 60 attributes across the three dimensions of performance,
energy and use. Your responses are classified into one of the four quadrants of the R2 Strengths
Profiler 4M Model.
The 4M Model below shows each of the four quadrants, together with advice about what to do with
the attributes in that quadrant. This is a dynamic model, helping you to see exactly where you are
now, and where you want to be in the future.
Use the 4M Model to help you identify what you need to do for your performance, growth and
development.

Unrealised strengths are the things you find
energising and perform well, but don’t use
so often.
Maximise for development, career
advancement, and to reach your goals.
Weaknesses are the things you find it hard
to do well and find draining.
Minimise to make them irrelevant by
knowing what to work on, what to avoid,
and what to pass on to others!
Realised strengths are the things you find
energising, perform well, and use often.
Marshal them for outstanding performance
by dialling them up and down, depending
on your situation.
Learned behaviours are the things you
have learned to do well, but that don’t
energise you.
Moderate to prevent burnout by using them
less and working from your strengths more.

How can you get more involved in starting new initiatives or re-
energising longer term projects?
Consider how using other strengths families will help you
deliver your tasks more effectively. For example, do you have
a Relating strength to soften your motivation?
What really drives and inspires you? Make sure your
motivation of Adventure, Courage or Drive is effective, by
aligning it to your purpose and your goals.
Know when to take your foot off the pedal! How do others react
to you? Have you planned your approach? Do you know when
to stop, or when to change direction?
Your lowest Strengths Family across the
60 strengths falls within ThinkingThinkingThinkingThinking
What is the impact of this? Ask others what they notice about
your approach to tasks. Don’t enjoy finishing what you started?
Too busy pleasing others? Need to be more organised?
What Thinking strengths do you need for your current goals?
Who has these strengths? What can you offer them in
exchange for their strategic, innovative or detailed approach?
Do you need to dial back on other family groups to allow for
more time and energy in your Thinking strengths?
Who can you partner with on projects? Who is reflective, while
you may prefer to take quick action? Who loves Detail, while
you may consider the impact on others?

R2 Strengths Profiler
Full 60 Feedback
Realised Strengths
1 Relationship Deepener
Building close relationships with people is very important to you.
For you, really getting to know someone, and for them to know
you, takes time.
Your relationships with people will develop slowly over time, but
will almost always last for the long term.
Marshal Remember not to miss opportunities to connect with
people on a more informal basis. You might need more of a
diverse network of loose contacts in the future.
2 Personal Responsibility
You are always true to your word, knowing that if you make a
promise, then you are sure to keep it.
You never blame others, but take ownership of everything that
you do.
You are seen as someone who is always prepared to do what
you have committed to do.
Marshal When did you last delegate or say no? As you always
deliver on your commitments, it might be a good idea to practice
saying these, as well as pushing back, if you feel you’re getting
overloaded.
3 Enabler
You enjoy developing people so that they can go on to do things
for themselves.
While providing support, you give people tasks and challenges
that you know will stretch them.
You encourage people to get out of their comfort zones in ways
that will help them to grow and develop.
Marshal Regularly check in with the people you enable, to see if
they still feel suitably challenged. People may not always
themselves want the level of growth that you want for them!
4 Change Agent
You love to be involved with and bring about change, identifying
the real benefits of the changes you make.
You relish opportunities to implement change and become an
advocate for new developments.
Your enthusiasm for change enthuses others in turn, who
otherwise would have been more reluctant about the change.
Marshal To ensure the success of new developments,
understand the full impact on others in advance and how they
might react. Ensure you don’t embark on change for the sake of
change.
5 Competitive
You are highly motivated by competing against others. For you,
winning is the only option.
You gauge your progress and success through measuring your
abilities in comparison to others.
You feel great when you are first, but you take it hard when you
lose. For you, losing hurts.
Marshal Support others to up their game too and notice the
competition. Be mindful of those around you who are less
competitive.
6 Efficacy
You are very confident and self-assured, with an unwavering
belief in your abilities.
You believe that almost anything is within your reach, if you set
your mind to it and work hard to achieve it.
This self-belief shines through every day and instils a confidence
in the people around you.
Marshal How do others perceive you? Ensure you recognise the
contributions and success of the people around you, as well as
being a great and confident role model yourself.
7 Bounceback
Whatever setback or disappointment you come up against, it just
makes you more determined to succeed.
You love to pick yourself up very quickly from setbacks, using
them as a springboard to spur you on.
You go on to achieve more than you would have done
otherwise, proving your success to yourself and others.
Marshal If you have recently experienced a setback, as well as
harnessing your drive to get back up and succeed, try to take a
little time out to reflect on your experiences and rest a little too.
8 Pride
You take pride in everything that you do.
You love to deliver work that is consistently of the highest
standard and quality, getting it right first time.
You set high standards for yourself, and enjoy the recognition of
others for the quality of your work.
Marshal It may be frustrating for you if others don’t share your
passion for quality. Try developing them and making sure you
have given clear instructions as to your expectations.

putting ideas into action by involving others.

never have done.

other people may want you to do.
You are proud to stand up for what you believe in, doing things
in a way that is right for you.

you need to flex a little. Remember that not everyone holds the
same values as you.
11 Drive
You are extremely self-motivated, with an inner drive that
pushes you on to achieve more.
As soon as you complete one task, you don’t wait to be told
what to do, you move on to the next.
You love to set stretching goals and targets for yourself.
Marshal A stretch target for you could be to relax a little! When
your Drive is high, it is critical that you are clear about what you
want to achieve. Otherwise, you could be driving around in
circles.
12 Moral Compass
You are acutely aware of the difference between right and
wrong.
You always act in accordance with what you believe is right.
Your decisions and your actions are always guided by your
ethics and values.
Marshal Appreciate that others could have a different moral code
than you in certain situations and you may need to compromise.
Volunteer to become a sounding board for others in ethical
matters.
13 Feedback
You enjoy giving people both positive and negative feedback.
You believe people need to know what they have done well, so
that they can build on it and progress.
You give people accurate developmental feedback so that they
know where they can improve.
Marshal Know when feedback will be welcome and balance both
types, positive and negative. Give people a chance to tell you
how they think they have performed in advance of your feedback
as well.
14 Centred
You feel as though you look out at the world with a deep sense
of inner calm and confidence.
Whatever challenges life throws at you, your sense of poise and
composure is never shaken.
You feel totally and naturally at ease with yourself at all times
and in all situations.

enthusiasm, as well as allowing others to learn from your relaxed
approach.
15 Mission
You derive great fulfilment from doing things that give your life
meaning and purpose.
You could be focused on one or many different things that
provide purpose.
How you spend your time, your decisions and your future plans
are all aligned to your sense of mission and purpose in life.
Marshal Meaning doesn’t always have to be long term or earth-
shattering. What are the small things in life to which you can
attribute meaning and purpose? Practice mindfulness to connect
to something bigger.
16 Persistence
You pride yourself on being able to keep going in the face of
difficult challenges and frustrations.
You understand that success in the face of adversity requires
extra effort and determination.
You never give up! Ever.
Marshal When faced with challenges, what do you tell yourself
or connect with to keep going? Share your approaches with
others to encourage them. And remember, sometimes it may be
healthy to concede defeat and learn from failure.

you can respond positively to last minute requests or plans.
31 Work Ethic 24/7
You have learned to work hard, putting a lot of effort and energy
into your work.
Experience has shown you that working hard is important.
You don’t mind working longer hours when necessary, but work
is probably not the thing for which you live.
Moderate Don’t beat yourself up, you are far from lazy!
Remember only to work longer hours when necessary. Don’t
forget that playing to your strengths is much less effort!
32 Gratitude
You try to remain aware of how fortunate you are.
You have learned to notice and appreciate the positive things
that happen to you.
You try not to take anything for granted.
Moderate Don’t feel you always need to be grateful for what you
have. Be authentic and allow yourself some moments to be
upset, or to feel free to express your displeasure about
something negative that happened to you.

Learned Behaviours
33 Judgement
You have learned how to make sound decisions quickly and
easily.
You know how to assess the pros and cons of situations and
have become confident in your decision making.
By adopting these approaches, your decisions stand up to
robust challenge.
Moderate What would make decision making easier for you?
Certainly, for the bigger decisions it might be worth bouncing
ideas around with colleagues, or you may prefer to take more
time to think things through.
34 Equality
Being fair and equitable is important to you.
You have learned to pay attention to issues of fairness and
equality, to recognise others as your equal.
You ensure that your own actions and decisions are as fair and
as equitable as possible.
Moderate There may be a balance to achieve between being
fair, and also recognising that treating everyone as individuals
may also be important for you. Sometimes, these may not be
precisely the same thing.
35 Unconditionality
You have learned how to accept and respect people for who
they are. You try hard not to be judgemental.
You have learned not to be fazed by the way that people are, or
even the things that they do.
You know that everyone is valuable in their own right.
Moderate You may find it hard to be honest sometimes when it’s
actually required. Others will respect your opinion due to your
non-judgemental nature, so be more confident about saying
what needs to be said sometimes.
36 Connector
You have learned how to make connections between the people
that you meet.
You notice when people have shared interests or something in
common, and you make links between them.
You have acquired strategies that help you to bring people
together effectively for their mutual benefit.
Moderate Limit your connecting abilities by focusing on what you
and they want to achieve. How can you ensure others are
returning the favour too? Tell them what you need as well.
37 Reconfiguration
You have learned how to rearrange resources and adapt plans
to meet the changing demands of new situations.
You know through experience when to stay on track and when
to change to become more effective.
You are able to adapt and find the best fit for things, being
content with juggling things as the context changes.
Moderate It can be exhausting, so know when it is necessary to
be flexible and when a more consistent approach is needed for a
good outcome.
38 Narrator
You have learned to tell stories well.
You have spent time developing your story-telling technique.
You understand that stories can be a useful way to convey
morals, insights, values, humour, and other lessons.
Moderate If you can’t always think of a good story, borrow
someone else’s. Carry a notebook, or use your phone, to make
notes of great stories you hear. Find ways to make them your
own.
39 Courage
While you may well feel afraid at times, you have learned to try
to face up to and overcome your fears.
You do not always enjoy having to demonstrate courage, but
you have learned its importance.
You recognise the benefits of participating in activities that make
you feel nervous or scared.
Moderate Don’t always feel you have to be courageous. Balance
out your bravery with working within your comfort zone, to give
yourself some breathing space from time to time.

Weaknesses
1 Humility
You may like to receive recognition yourself for a job well done,
not immediately valuing the contribution of others.
You may not always be explicit in appreciating the value and
help of others, despite knowing their contribution.
Minimise Most people require some recognition, so in what ways
can you give this? It doesn’t need to be formal or long-winded,
but consider other’s strengths and preferences to decide on
what may work best for them.
2 Scribe
You may not enjoy writing and it doesn’t come naturally to you.
You prefer to focus on other forms of communication, leaving
others to use the written word.
Minimise Don’t leave it to the last minute, but find a partner to
work with who can edit your work. In this technology-enabled
world, try to find another effective way of communicating that is a
better fit for you.

Unrealised Strengths
1 Strategic Awareness
You are interested in understanding changes in the wider world
that could impact on your plans and objectives.
Your big picture thinking enables you to develop and shift long
term plans effectively.
You like to take steps to deal with whatever circumstances may
arise in the future.
Maximise Whether at home or work, when making any decision,
think through what the impact will be now, as well as in 2 years’
and 5 years’ time. Push yourself to consider all the diverse
factors that may influence your outcomes.
2 Time Optimiser
Time is precious to you and you rarely waste it, squeezing in as
much as you can into every day.
You like to organise yourself so that you use your time
productively.
You may feel like you already maximise your time, but there may
also be opportunities to make even more use of your time.
Maximise There is always more we could be doing, so consider
carefully what it is you really want to add in to your daily
activities. Perhaps something just for you?

Understand your strengths in relation to your situation and
context.
Recognise what you love to do and do well. Use the strengths
for which you want to be known.
What results do you achieve by using these strengths?
Go deeper Combine strengths
Align strengths to goals Don’t overplay
Compensate with strengths Enhance
Stop using it Find a complementary partner
Re-focus your role Adopt strengths-based team working
Organise tasks Don’t overuse it
If a learned behaviour is really draining, can you simply stop
using it?
What would the impact be to you and others if you stopped
using it?
Combine your strengths by using them together to maximise
their impact.
What combinations have proved successful before? How can
you rely on them again?
There are many strengths combinations and dynamics
available. Choose the right one for you.
Find someone who would be energised by taking on the things
that drain you.
Swap the things that drain them for something that you enjoy,
to get the work done between you.
Be clear about what you want to achieve, both now and in the
future.
Reflect on which strengths will be most effective in helping you
achieve these goals.
Don’t just rely on 1 or 2 of your favourites - use the full range of
your strengths!
Can you re-organise your work so that you use it less
frequently?
Are there responsibilities you can delegate, or can you swap
tasks with others?
Do any strengths feel unsustainable in how you’re using them?
Watch out that you don’t take a strength too far for the situation
and context.
Dial strengths up or down according to the need, rather than
just your preference.
Re-allocate how things are done using a ‘team strengths’
approach.
Consider tasks, objectives and responsibilities according to
people’s strengths, not just their role.
Be specific about the areas where you struggle – use a strength
to compensate.
Which strengths can help you overcome that learned behaviour
or weakness?
You may not find a like-for-like match. Be creative – how can a
strength deliver the same outcome?
List out the activities you have to do this week. Highlight the
draining ones.
Sandwich the activities that drain you between the activities that
play to your strengths.
As you use your strengths, reflect on what is going really well.
What isn’t working so well and could be better?
Refine your actions based on your learning and feedback.
It’s in this quadrant because it’s lower energy for you – this
could be because you’re overplaying it.
Can you re-energise these tasks, or use the learned behaviour
less, to improve your motivation?

Putting the 4M Model into Action
Tell others about your weaknesses when relevant. No-one is
good at everything.
Sharing weaknesses creates more open relationships, allowing
others to offer their strengths.
Which of your unrealised strengths are you most passionate
about using?
Which will make the most difference to you in achieving your
goals?
Swap strengths with someone who has a strength where you
have a weakness.
Compensate for something that drains them, by using one of
your strengths to get the job done.
Improve your use of the strength even more, with formal
learning and development as required.
Who has this strength and uses it successfully? What can you
learn from them?
Re-organise what you do, to use the weakness less or not at
all.
Delegate to others, or re-arrange the way that work gets done.
Which strengths will help you get things done or fill a gap at
work?
Use this strength to improve things, or to deliver new projects
that require something different.
Re-allocate how things are done using a ‘team strengths’
approach.
Consider tasks, objectives and responsibilities according to
people’s strengths, not just their role.
As you develop, take on bigger or more complex activities and
tasks.
Try out the strength in new situations and environments.
Use one or more of your strengths to compensate for your
weakness.
Focus on the outcome, rather than the process. See which
strengths will get you there instead.
If you haven’t used this strength much before, you might need
to practise it.
Watch out for when you learn things quickly and easily, a true
sign of a strength and potential for growth.
If you have to, learn to perform the weakness to a level of
competence, minimising the impact.
Focus on being good enough, so that the weakness doesn’t
undermine your performance.
As you maximise an unrealised strength, evaluate how you get
on. Ask for feedback.
Did you get the results you expected? What have you learned?
What can you improve?
Be honest Find a complementary partner
Re-shape the role Be a strengths-based team
Use strengths to compensate Try some development
Identify your unrealised strengths Develop
Find the opportunity Expand your reach

  • 7. R2 Strengths Profiler Full 60 Feedback Realised Strengths 1 Relationship Deepener Building close relationships with people is very important to you. For you, really getting to know someone, and for them to know you, takes time. Your relationships with people will develop slowly over time, but will almost always last for the long term. Marshal Remember not to miss opportunities to connect with people on a more informal basis. You might need more of a diverse network of loose contacts in the future. 2 Personal Responsibility You are always true to your word, knowing that if you make a promise, then you are sure to keep it. You never blame others, but take ownership of everything that you do. You are seen as someone who is always prepared to do what you have committed to do. Marshal When did you last delegate or say no? As you always deliver on your commitments, it might be a good idea to practice saying these, as well as pushing back, if you feel you’re getting overloaded. 3 Enabler You enjoy developing people so that they can go on to do things for themselves. While providing support, you give people tasks and challenges that you know will stretch them. You encourage people to get out of their comfort zones in ways that will help them to grow and develop. Marshal Regularly check in with the people you enable, to see if they still feel suitably challenged. People may not always themselves want the level of growth that you want for them! 4 Change Agent You love to be involved with and bring about change, identifying the real benefits of the changes you make. You relish opportunities to implement change and become an advocate for new developments. Your enthusiasm for change enthuses others in turn, who otherwise would have been more reluctant about the change. Marshal To ensure the success of new developments, understand the full impact on others in advance and how they might react. Ensure you don’t embark on change for the sake of change. 5 Competitive You are highly motivated by competing against others. For you, winning is the only option. You gauge your progress and success through measuring your abilities in comparison to others. You feel great when you are first, but you take it hard when you lose. For you, losing hurts. Marshal Support others to up their game too and notice the competition. Be mindful of those around you who are less competitive. 6 Efficacy You are very confident and self-assured, with an unwavering belief in your abilities. You believe that almost anything is within your reach, if you set your mind to it and work hard to achieve it. This self-belief shines through every day and instils a confidence in the people around you. Marshal How do others perceive you? Ensure you recognise the contributions and success of the people around you, as well as being a great and confident role model yourself. 7 Bounceback Whatever setback or disappointment you come up against, it just makes you more determined to succeed. You love to pick yourself up very quickly from setbacks, using them as a springboard to spur you on. You go on to achieve more than you would have done otherwise, proving your success to yourself and others. Marshal If you have recently experienced a setback, as well as harnessing your drive to get back up and succeed, try to take a little time out to reflect on your experiences and rest a little too. 8 Pride You take pride in everything that you do. You love to deliver work that is consistently of the highest standard and quality, getting it right first time. You set high standards for yourself, and enjoy the recognition of others for the quality of your work. Marshal It may be frustrating for you if others don’t share your passion for quality. Try developing them and making sure you have given clear instructions as to your expectations. 6STRENGTHSSTRENGTHSSTRENGTHSSTRENGTHS EXPERT PROFILE //////// RATUL RIZVAN

You especially enjoy getting new projects off the ground and putting ideas into action by involving others. You motivate others to work on things that otherwise they might never have done. Marshal Get involved with a diverse range of projects to stretch yourself. Ensure you have energy to continue inspiring others until the end of longer term projects. 10 Authenticity Whatever you do, you do it with genuine conviction and without pretence. You always keep to your own values and beliefs, no matter what other people may want you to do. You are proud to stand up for what you believe in, doing things in a way that is right for you. Marshal Know when you need to stand strong, as well as when you need to flex a little. Remember that not everyone holds the same values as you. 11 Drive You are extremely self-motivated, with an inner drive that pushes you on to achieve more. As soon as you complete one task, you don’t wait to be told what to do, you move on to the next. You love to set stretching goals and targets for yourself. Marshal A stretch target for you could be to relax a little! When your Drive is high, it is critical that you are clear about what you want to achieve. Otherwise, you could be driving around in circles. 12 Moral Compass You are acutely aware of the difference between right and wrong. You always act in accordance with what you believe is right. Your decisions and your actions are always guided by your ethics and values. Marshal Appreciate that others could have a different moral code than you in certain situations and you may need to compromise. Volunteer to become a sounding board for others in ethical matters. 13 Feedback You enjoy giving people both positive and negative feedback. You believe people need to know what they have done well, so that they can build on it and progress. You give people accurate developmental feedback so that they know where they can improve. Marshal Know when feedback will be welcome and balance both types, positive and negative. Give people a chance to tell you how they think they have performed in advance of your feedback as well. 14 Centred You feel as though you look out at the world with a deep sense of inner calm and confidence. Whatever challenges life throws at you, your sense of poise and composure is never shaken. You feel totally and naturally at ease with yourself at all times and in all situations. Marshal Make sure you also demonstrate equal amounts of enthusiasm, as well as allowing others to learn from your relaxed approach. 15 Mission You derive great fulfilment from doing things that give your life meaning and purpose. You could be focused on one or many different things that provide purpose. How you spend your time, your decisions and your future plans are all aligned to your sense of mission and purpose in life. Marshal Meaning doesn’t always have to be long term or earth- shattering. What are the small things in life to which you can attribute meaning and purpose? Practice mindfulness to connect to something bigger. 16 Persistence You pride yourself on being able to keep going in the face of difficult challenges and frustrations. You understand that success in the face of adversity requires extra effort and determination. You never give up! Ever. Marshal When faced with challenges, what do you tell yourself or connect with to keep going? Share your approaches with others to encourage them. And remember, sometimes it may be healthy to concede defeat and learn from failure. 7STRENGTHSSTRENGTHSSTRENGTHSSTRENGTHS EXPERT PROFILE //////// RATUL RIZVAN

In a meeting or in a social gathering, you are able to speak up and hold the floor. You find that you can get people to listen to you when you need to do so.

You may not always be explicit in appreciating the value and help of others, despite knowing their contribution. Minimise Most people require some recognition, so in what ways can you give this? It doesn’t need to be formal or long-winded, but consider other’s strengths and preferences to decide on what may work best for them. 2 Scribe You may not enjoy writing and it doesn’t come naturally to you.

What would the impact be to you and others if you stopped using it? Combine your strengths by using them together to maximise their impact. What combinations have proved successful before? How can you rely on them again? There are many strengths combinations and dynamics available. Choose the right one for you. Find someone who would be energised by taking on the things that drain you. Swap the things that drain them for something that you enjoy, to get the work done between you. Be clear about what you want to achieve, both now and in the future. Reflect on which strengths will be most effective in helping you achieve these goals. Don’t just rely on 1 or 2 of your favourites - use the full range of your strengths! Can you re-organise your work so that you use it less frequently? Are there responsibilities you can delegate, or can you swap tasks with others? Do any strengths feel unsustainable in how you’re using them? Watch out that you don’t take a strength too far for the situation and context. Dial strengths up or down according to the need, rather than just your preference. Re-allocate how things are done using a ‘team strengths’ approach. Consider tasks, objectives and responsibilities according to people’s strengths, not just their role. Be specific about the areas where you struggle – use a strength to compensate. Which strengths can help you overcome that learned behaviour or weakness? You may not find a like-for-like match. Be creative – how can a strength deliver the same outcome? List out the activities you have to do this week. Highlight the draining ones. Sandwich the activities that drain you between the activities that play to your strengths. As you use your strengths, reflect on what is going really well. What isn’t working so well and could be better? Refine your actions based on your learning and feedback. It’s in this quadrant because it’s lower energy for you – this could be because you’re overplaying it. Can you re-energise these tasks, or use the learned behaviour less, to improve your motivation? 16STRENGTHSSTRENGTHSSTRENGTHSSTRENGTHS EXPERT PROFILE //////// RATUL RIZVAN

Which will make the most difference to you in achieving your goals? Swap strengths with someone who has a strength where you have a weakness. Compensate for something that drains them, by using one of your strengths to get the job done. Improve your use of the strength even more, with formal learning and development as required. Who has this strength and uses it successfully? What can you learn from them? Re-organise what you do, to use the weakness less or not at all. Delegate to others, or re-arrange the way that work gets done. Which strengths will help you get things done or fill a gap at work? Use this strength to improve things, or to deliver new projects that require something different. Re-allocate how things are done using a ‘team strengths’ approach. Consider tasks, objectives and responsibilities according to people’s strengths, not just their role. As you develop, take on bigger or more complex activities and tasks. Try out the strength in new situations and environments. Use one or more of your strengths to compensate for your weakness. Focus on the outcome, rather than the process. See which strengths will get you there instead. If you haven’t used this strength much before, you might need to practise it. Watch out for when you learn things quickly and easily, a true sign of a strength and potential for growth. If you have to, learn to perform the weakness to a level of competence, minimising the impact. Focus on being good enough, so that the weakness doesn’t undermine your performance. As you maximise an unrealised strength, evaluate how you get on. Ask for feedback. Did you get the results you expected? What have you learned? What can you improve?
