Wealth Creation Key: Building a better brand
Strengths: Creative; outgoing, able to motivate and inspire others, quick to connect; holds the stage, high energy and knows how to have fun.
Weaknesses: Often overpowering, can forget to consider everyone, not strong at detail, often runs with first ideas before considering other ideas
Successes: Best when free to express and develop their own identity. Stars are best when able to work on their presentation and performance, provided the light is used to shine on others around them. Stars need a team to be at their best.
Failures: Failure comes from frightening others away by expecting too much of others or taking on too much themselves. When Stars are overly judgmental of others or themselves, they find themselves all dressed up and nowhere to go.
The best roles in teams: Creative projects, big picture thinking, promoting projects, leading the team, people-focused leadership, learning through conversation and discussion, communicating through debate and performance.
The worst roles in teams: Detailed study, time-keeping, system planning, measurement, looking after everyone, keeping views to themselves, detailfocused leadership, learning through text books, communicating through data.
The best roles in life: Marketing, promotion, sales leadership, presenting, performing, leading out of crisis, motivation, starting a business.
The worst roles in life: Financial detail, research and measurement, customer care, detailed writing, patient listening, project management.
