Systems Strategist

See the system. Test the logic. Improve the model.

  • Analytical
  • Abstract
  • Direct
  • Structured

You enjoy understanding how the parts of a problem fit together, and you tend to test the logic behind an idea before you commit to it. Teams often rely on you to find the flaw in a plan early and to explain how a complicated system really works.

Strengths

  • Connects patterns that others treat as separate issues.
  • Stays with difficult problems instead of avoiding them.
  • Questions assumptions, including your own, and thinks several steps ahead.

Where this can cost you

  • Can spend too long refining an explanation when a good-enough answer would do.
  • May forget that others need a simpler version of the reasoning.

Where it shines

Tangled problems where the logic has to be right, and where there is room to think before acting.

Where another style may fit the task

When the situation needs a quick call or a lot of hands-on people work, a different style may suit the task.
