Trust is a unique factor in relationships. It often takes a long time to create trust, but it can be lost in mere seconds.

Empathy is a not usually an innate skill. It comes easier to some than others, but for most it requires a conscious decision. That said, if one wants to learn it, it’s certainly learnable.

Sometimes when I do a workshop, I’ll ask attendees if they’ve ever been mismanaged. If I ask that question, almost all the hands in the room go up. Tragically, this phenomenon is not rare, and it’s often a factor in someone deciding to find work elsewhere.

Like the Steady style, people with a Conscientious style also prefer lower risk decisions and taking their time when making them. However, they tend to focus more on the tasks rather than the people helping with the tasks.

Those with strong Influencing tendencies are creative and optimistic problem solvers. They are naturally wired to be team players and use enthusiasm to motivate others toward goals.
