I always dreaded getting annual performance reviews, even though they usually went well. This one was different. "I gave you a ‘failure to meet expectations' score because you didn't achieve your objectives for the year," my boss told me. The problem was I had no idea what my objectives were.

The ability to interact effectively with others could be classified as a super power in the next Marvel or DC blockbuster. It wouldn't be as exciting as shooting spider webs out of your hands or lifting cars with one hand, but in the real world few things are as useful as interpersonal success.

Those who are passionate about their job and have a strong sense of purpose—that what they do matters and is appreciated—will add to the culture and help it grow. Their enthusiasm and passion will infuse the culture in a positive way.

If someone is a hard worker, there is a universal assumption that they can do anything.

Each core value has a particular way of dealing with conflict and fear. Everyone feels challenged or out of their element at times and the way we react to these situations depends entirely on our core values. One of the most useful insights provided by the full CVI report is how your particular CVI profile handles conflict. We call it Conflict Resolution Strategies and it provides powerful information that can change your personal and professional life in a profound way.
