Summary

Each profile represents a different approach to change, and organizations benefit from having a mix of styles. The key for leaders is helping each type leverage their strengths while developing in areas where they struggle. Regular assessment and feedback can help individuals identify their primary style and track their progress in developing new capabilities.

Remember that these profiles are not fixed. Individuals can and do shift between styles depending on context and personal growth. The goal is not to completely change your natural tendencies but to expand your range of responses to change while maintaining authentic strengths.
