| | | | My Boss Wants Me to “Act First,” But That’s Not My Personality | | by Scott Robley
|
|
| | I love the Crucial Influence Model, and I’ve been able to apply it to overcome hurdles and help others I mentor. However, I struggle to apply the framework when it comes to personality types. I have received feedback from my managers that I need to be more action-oriented, but numerous personality tests tell me I am more of a “think first” person rather than an “act first” person.
Here is my question: Does personality relate to ability or motivation? If my personality is more “think first” and my boss is asking me to be more “act first,” how do I change my behavior while still being true to who I am?
Signed,
Just Who I Am

| | | | Many organizations have begun leveraging personality tests to get to know their employees and build thriving relationships in the workplace. Personality tests provide insight into communication styles, strengths, and areas for potential growth. Organizations use them to improve collaboration, understand team dynamics, strengthen individual and team performance, and even to reduce turnover.
There are, however, some potential cautions. Some personality tests may be simplistic, lead to biases, and limit employees’ beliefs about themselves.
