Strengths
I am analytical, objective, critical, and quick to challenge views and opinions that are not based on sound reason or logic. I appreciate the value of abstract, logical thought, and expect efficiency, competence and intellectual rigor from myself and those around me. I use my intuition to look beyond the obvious known facts in a given situation, and am motivated to get to the heart of complex, theoretical issues. I am assertive, clear thinking and decisive, and I naturally create detailed plans and systems to achieve results with efficiency and minimal effort. I have a strong sense of duty, responsibility and leadership, and attend closely to the detailed aspects of a task – which I am committed to complete on schedule and to the required standard. While I believe it is important to adhere closely to well established methods and procedures, my emphasis on thinking may nonetheless cause me to question systems and procedures that are not based on a sound, logical analysis.
I am known for my abstract, theory-driven approach to solving problems, which is based on a logical, rational analysis of fundamental principles. I am more interested in understanding why things work, rather than simply perceiving how they work. I use my intuition to look beyond the superficial facts in a given situation, in search of deeper, unifying, principles and concepts. However, being outer-directed and action orientated, I am not inclined to theorize for the sake of theorizing. Rather, I am concerned with translating theoretical possibilities into well defined, achievable, plans and goals. I approach problems in a clear, orderly and methodical way, and wisely attend to the important details that can cause the best laid plans to go wrong. I generally prefer to learn about a subject by engaging in lively informed debate or discussion, rather than by reading or through private study or reflection.
When speaking about my interaction with others, I am orientated towards the extraverted world of people and events, and I communicate in a direct, open and to-the-point way. I am intellectually curious, and enjoy discussing abstract, theoretical ideas. I approach life from a logical, theoretically driven perspective, so relating to others’ feelings does not come naturally to me. Nevertheless, I will often take the initiative when forming new relationships, as I am outgoing, sociable and talkative by nature. I am task orientated and goal directed, and motivated to create logical, efficient systems and procedures. In social situations, I naturally take the lead, organizing people and events to achieve shared goals. I am straight-forward and candid in my dealings with others, and am quick to express my own views and opinions. I am dependable and reliable, and am clear about my interpersonal roles and responsibilities, and am always prepared to make tough decisions when necessary.
As the CEO of three companies and a visionary in the IT world, my strengths in leadership, logic, communication, and goal orientation will help define my role and success in all technologically focused endeavors I choose to pursue. By keeping tabs on my expectations of other people and giving praise when the situation calls will help develop a strong management perspective and respect of subordinates. This analysis helped me understand how to perfect my already strong qualities, correct those that are potentially hazardous, to acquire the career position I choose, and understand the foundation and balance that portrays who I am.
