Development Suggestions
Work Habits
You should strive to balance doing great work with getting it done in a timely manner. Perfectionism and other pitfalls inherent to highly diligent people can reduce your effectiveness. Don't get so focused on the details that you lose sight of the bigger picture. It's important for you to always keep an eye on the greater strategy, and to ensure your efforts are aligned with achieving it.
Your motivation and drive are best harnessed by prioritizing activities in a way that optimizes your ability to achieve results. You should look for places where you can add the greatest value and use your natural drive to deliver in areas of impact.
Interaction Style
Some interactions call for a more direct approach, whereas others may require a gentler touch. When engaging with others, you should make sure to consider the situation, the people involved, and the context to help you determine the level of directness that is warranted.
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.
Temperament
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.
