Nikhitha 's Workplace Insights

Work Habits

Highly achievement-oriented by nature, you will likely benefit from taking on particularly challenging tasks to further optimize your effectiveness in a role. Taking on these challenges may also further refine your strengths and enable you to apply them for even greater impact.

Your exacting, precise, and organized approach to work will be beneficial in many tasks, but you do run the risk of being perceived as inflexible at times. Allowing for some flexibility and uncertainty in your projects, plans and approaches may be beneficial. It's possible that you may be so focused on the details, or on having everything perfect, that you lose sight of the bigger picture. Your style also runs the risk of being perceived as micromanaging people or processes, so allowing others additional flexibility and freedom from time to time may also be beneficial.

Your strong inner motivation and drive are likely to see you do well in a variety of tasks, even in tasks that you do not find intrinsically enjoyable. This strong inner drive can be best utilized in high impact activities where your motivation should see you achieving strong outcomes.

Temperament

While there is a time and a place for healthy competition, there is also a risk that being highly competitive may have a negative impact on developing good relationships with others. It may be beneficial for you to consider using your energy and enthusiasm for success to help others in their attainment of goals. This may help you foster valuable working relationships. You may also benefit from understanding that it's OK to lose and to fail - doing so can encourage growth, build resilience, and help shape future goals.

Given your highly tolerant and patient nature, you are likely to feel uncomfortable being rushed or pressured by others into taking immediate action. Your prioritization of stable and calm relationships can mean you are unlikely to tell others when they have disappointed you. Understanding that your time, effort, and opinions are valuable may help increase your comfort with voicing your opinions when others don't meet your expectations.

Interaction Style

It may be useful to consider when your strong and direct approach may and may not be the most appropriate or effective way of interacting. While this approach can be beneficial at times, being overly assertive can alienate others and impact relationships at work. Finding a balance between expressing your views and inviting others to share their thoughts can help facilitate meaningful and productive collaboration.

As an extrovert, you may benefit from the realization that the most effective way to complete a task is to work hard and avoid distractions. Interacting with others is important for building relationships at work and being part of a successful team. But some tasks need to be accomplished alone. Speaking up in meetings and sharing ideas is valuable, but other people need that chance to be heard and understood. Extroverts who find themselves doing most of the talking may need to make an effort to listen more instead.

Attitudes & Outlook

Being creative and intellectually curious is a great asset in many fields. But there are times you must also realize that there is no need to use a complex solution when a simple one will do. Making sure that your solutions can be delivered on by others is also important. Being able to come up with straightforward and practical solutions can be valuable, as in addition to resolving the challenge at hand, simple solutions are more easily replicated by others.

You may find that you come across to others as overconfident. There may be times when your trust in your own abilities means that you do not take the time to adequately plan and prepare in advance. Your level of self-assurance may also mean that you fail to take into account the feedback and advice of others. You may need to remind yourself to attend to input and ideas from those around you.
