Viewpoints report for Clare Cohen

7 things to know about how others see you

  1. 1
    Seeing ourselves as others see us is not easy. In the words of the Scottish poet Robert Burns:
    ‘O wad some Pow’r the giftie gie us
    To see oursels as ithers see us’
  2. 2
    Trust the patterns. The view of one particular person tells you as much about them as it does about you. But the patterns across a number of peoples' views will tell you lots.
  3. 3
    It may be true that nobody understands you, but when they all don’t understand you in exactly the same way, there is a lesson to be learnt.
  4. 4
    People say feedback is a gift. But some people don’t give very good presents, so don’t feel you have to treasure all feedback. Thank them kindly for taking the time and then put their gift in your ‘mental attic’.
  5. 5
    Building on your strengths is often a more effective route to development than trying to cover off your gaps.
  6. 6
    A gap becomes a liability if you are not good at spotting and valuing others whose natural strengths can provide cover for your gaps.
  7. 7
    Use this report to spur you into action - talk to the people who have given you their points of view on you. You might be surprised how much it strengthens your relationships, as well as helping you sharpen your focus for development.

Click on a diamond to find out about that Leader type.

the Innovator

They are willing to think the unthinkable, make connections others miss, good at anticipating how the world may change and are willing to make bold, game-changing decisions, even at the risk of failure or seeming foolish.

the Entrepreneurial leader

They are great at spotting the potential in situations and have the network of contacts, personal resourcefulness and determination to follow through and turn possibilities into reality.

the Executional leader

The Executional leader is focused and driven to achieve great results. They will work tirelessly on a challenging task until it is completed, galvanising and driving the efforts of others, often with little or no regard for relationships or workplace politics.

the Practical leader

They are great at translating strategy into practical results, with a strong feel for what will work in the real world. They balance the short-term with the long-term, bringing a sustained focus on improving the quality, reliability and effectiveness of whatever they are leading.

the Strategist

They provide strategic clarity to people and organisations. They are valued for their judgement, their wisdom about what is going on and their insight about what needs to happen to move a difficult task forward, unstick a relationship, or handle a tricky people situation.

the Servant leader

The Servant leader gets their own ego out of the way and focuses on the team and organisation around them. They pull people together around shared goals, recognise and play to people’s strengths and inspire teams to perform strongly. Many come to personify the team, to embody its core values and identity.

the Transformational leader

They are great at leading people and organisations through change. Some deliver change in processes, products and structures, but the best are just as good at changing beliefs, mind-sets and culture.

the Charismatic leader

They seem to pull people towards them – who are drawn by their inner convictions and vision. The best create inspiration, energy and change for people, generating a sense of possibilities and potential.

the Professional

Professionals are known for their commitment to mastery of their chosen subjects and their determination to deliver on whatever personal commitments they make. They work with great energy, drive and focus in the service of others.
