" Thinking style is a lens through which we view the world. Everyone has such a lens, and it colors the way we interpret the events in our lives. Your thinking style is what causes you to respond emotionally to events, so its your thinking style that determines your level of resilience your ability to overcome, steer through and bounce back when adversity strikes."

Skilled decision makers know that they can depend on their intuition, but at the same time they may feel uncomfortable trusting a source of power that seems so accidental. - Gary Klein, Intuition at Work

Use your results constructively to strengthen your personal spirit. Choose a more optimistic outlook on life. Overcome helplessness and take control of what you can. Take positive initiative to achieve your goals.
PAGE 16
A belief that you can exert personal control, through your own efforts, to impact on an outcome. Having an optimistic and constructive approach to life coupled with a strong sense of control empowers you to take charge of your life. Your own sense of control is a key to high performance and health. When you start to feel helpless and overwhelmed by all of lifes complexities, regaining and maintaining a sense of being in control is vital for your personal well-being. Taking small daily steps to deal with difcult issues will strengthen your sense of control.
Your Prole: Average Preference You have a score typical of most people.
Your Initiative
A belief that you should go above and beyond conventional boundaries, to do what it takes, to complete important tasks and assist others. Taking initiative is one of the dening characteristics of high performers in every eld. It often requires a fearless courage to act where others would not. People with high initiative make things that need to happen, happen. They take responsibility to get things done, even when it isnt their job. Initiative is a driving force in life success and in business innovation. People with initiative push the envelope and do what it takes to achieve high quality results for others.

Conclude
Focus your attention on coming to closure and making decisions. Use this strategy to get results. There is a time to shift your focus to action. Stop gathering information, being nice, generating options or waiting to see what will happen. Ask yourself: 'What is the most sensible conclusion? What should be done?' Come to more conclusions. Force yourself to bite the bullet and make a decision.
Challenge Assumptions
Challenge assumptions all the time. Improve your results in problem solving by questioning and challenging how things are currently done. Get outside the box to generate fresh ideas. Take a step back. Don't be afraid to challenge the sacred cows. Take a risk. Question the underlying assumptions that you and others have taken for granted.
Brainstorm Ideas
Use your strong preference for generating ideas and options as a powerful resource in solving any problem or dealing with challenges. Tune-in to others first, to ensure they need your ideas more than they need your understanding. Think of your ideas as a valuable gift to others or for teams when they are blocked and unable to resolve a problem. Find people and places that appreciate your many ideas. Use your values more often to ensure you get what you want. Use your own values and beliefs to keep you on the right track so that others don't take advantage of you. Get clear on what is important to you. Know what you personally want and believe is worthwhile. Tap into the power and the passion of what you care deeply about. Use that passion to fire up your dreams and to power your actions.

3. Daily hard work - you cant get great or to really good at anything without regular, sustained hard work and sacrice. You have to put in the miles.
You may decide that world class expertise is not the level you want. But the reality is that hard, disciplined work is an essential aspect of higher level skill development and high performance results in every eld.
4. Passion the re in any high performer is a passion for what they are doing. This passion is a personal choice for pursing what you choose to do. Passion is the fuel you need to do the hard work and put in the time to achieve the knowledge, competence and results in the area you want to be great in. 5. Perseverance the willingness to keep doing something and pursuing a goal despite obstacles. High performers dont quit early. Perseverance is a
state of mind. It is the heart of personal spirit. To become a high performer, you need to keep on keeping on, and not give up when you face hard challenges.
6. Self discipline - the ability to stay focused, act deliberately and refrain from doing things that subvert or distract you from what you need to do to achieve your goal. Self discipline is as much about what you dont do as it is about what you do choose to do. Plan the work. Work the plan. Dont wobble. No excuses. If you slip, get right back on track. 7. Positive outlook - optimism is a common characteristic of all high performers. Reframe challenges into learning opportunities. Use optimism to persist on your path and get through the problems and inevitable roadblocks you face.
