Many managers get frustrated by the High S profile, mostly because they dont show a high sense of urgency to get things done.
Managed properly, they can get more done than many other profiles.
1. Dependable team worker
Always willing to help out, the High S will be a great team player. Usually stays in a situation a long time, the High S loyalty has a stabilizing effect on the team.
2. Work hard for a leader and cause
If the High S believes in the leader and the cause they will work extremely hard to make it happen (other styles will also work hard, but for different reasons). High S’s will be quick to assist others in areas they are familiar with. When the High S accepts the task, expect them to be around for a while and to logically move toward completion.
3. Great listener
Listening skills are natural behaviour for High S’s. Even when interrupted, they will stop and look you in the eye and listen. Great listening ability makes them natural at helping people work through problems. Combined with their logical thinking, they become great to have on the team.
4. Patient and empathetic
Combined with great listening skills, High S’s are very patient. Really trying to understand the situation the other person is in, they sometimes can become too adapting. Usually, they will give the other person the benefit of the doubt, and may stay in situation or relationship too long, hoping against hope that it will get better.
5. Good at reconciling factions, calming and stabilizing.
Driven by a desire for harmony and peace, High S’s can be a great asset in stabilizing a conflict situation. Again, their patience, listening ability, and logical approach can bring the team back into harmony and focus.
6. Logical and step-wise thinker
Involved in the planning process, High S’s are a great asset. Oftentimes goals are set and the plants to get there are never thought out. High S’s can bring lofty ideas back to the realm of the real world and point out gaps and flaws in the plan, due to their logical thinking process.
7. Will finish tasks started
Closure is of utmost importance to High S’s. They can, but do not enjoy juggling a lot of balls. A task that is started must be finished. The High S will finish the first task and then move on to the next. Also having the ability to organise effectively, the High S will develop a system to get the job done.
8. Loyal, long-term relationships
High S’s on the team will form loyal, long-term relationships with whom they associate. When the going gets tough, the High S may be able to hold the team together because of the close relationships they have nurtured and developed.
High S’s bring some incredible strengths to the team. Their loyalty and ability to form a close relationship has a cementing effect on the people around them, pulling everyone together for a common goal.
