The Captain’s Mindset
You’re a person who gets things done, effectively leading people and comfortably taking on responsibility
You have the mindset of a leader. You communicate your intentions, make firm decisions, and take responsibility for the results. Your colleagues admire your self-discipline and resourcefulness. You’ll never run out of motivation because you’re always one-step ahead.
What You’re Great At
With a Captain’s Mindset, you lead with confidence. You’re a risk taker and a problem solver. You’re the kind of person who executes and delivers throughout your workday, even when the task at hand is a challenging one. People are inspired by you because you’re willing to challenge the status quo and think in an innovative way. You value time management and achieving visible, tangible results.
We know that you’re not afraid to lead and make quick decisions throughout your workday. But in doing so, sometimes you have a tendency to work with a sense of urgency that may cause you and others unnecessary stress. Your desire to achieve results fast sometimes causes you to miss opportunities to listen closely, delegate responsibilities, or give clear instructions. It’s not uncommon for you to try to take on too much in the name of accomplishing your big goals.
Potential Workday Challenges
How To Address Those Challenges
If you want to strengthen your Captain’s Mindset, don’t be afraid to let go of some of the “little things”, listen more actively, and spend time communicating with others with an intent to understand. We know you want to move fast - but slowing down, explaining the “why” behind decisions, and phasing in bigger changes incrementally will help everyone involved. Slowing down will result in your ability to better manage your own stressors and develop a moment-to-moment awareness that will help you lead even more effectively.
The time you spend working on yourself and improving your workday mindset will be your ultimate competitive advantage in 2020. Sometimes your desire to control certain situations impedes your ability to make significant progress. Learning how to let go of that control and trusting the abilities of others will be key to leveling up. You might be a good fit for our Workday Accelerator because it will show you how to let go of that control, trust in the ability of others, and get you the freedom you want in your workday.
