IN FLU E NC ING

1. Signi canceYou want to make a big impact. You are independent and prioritize projects based on how much in uence they will
have on your organization or people around you.
How This Theme Contributes to Your SuccessLeaving a legacy is important to you, so you try harder than most to be successful. You are independent andwilling to do di cult things to di erentiate yourself. Your reputation is of the utmost importance, and you work
to maintain your company’s and its people’s integrity. You take pride in being a leader who emphasizes
success and inspires others.
Because you embrace the responsibility of making decisions, you are comfortable with the demands of beinga leader. You feel that with risk comes reward, and you are open to the challenge. Your talents thrive with theautonomy of leadership as you see possibilities, take calculated risks and explore what is unfamiliar.
You make others feel like they can accomplish important things. Because you enjoy when people notice yourtalents and accomplishments, you love to do the same for others. Recognizing others feels natural to you,which makes them feel special, seen and appreciated. You know that your words can in uence others, and you
don’t take that for granted.

How This Theme Could Get in the Way of Your Success
Having others acknowledge you is important to you, but as a leader, you might not get as muchrecognition for your good work as you would like. But if you let a lack of credit frustrate you, it could divert
your attention from what’s important. Look for ways to track your own successes and the impact you’rehaving on the world.
When you’re always looking for new ways to make a di erence in the world, you could be creating
unrealistic expectations for others. Constantly trying to meet your higher aspirations might feelexhausting and unattainable for those who want to do good work today. If they aren’t willing toconsistently achieve more, you might move on.
Although you’re con dent in your position as a leader, someone questioning you could discourage you.
Whether it’s a decision you make, a goal you set or a strategy you implement, you closely link yourperformance to your success, but you don’t always handle the vulnerability of feedback well. Others may
feel like they can’t give you honest responses without upsetting you.

How to Apply Signi cance asa Leader
This theme gives you an edge — here’s how you can use it.
Share your high aspirations with other leaders. Your purpose is to have an in uence on your organization’s
growth and the impact it has on the world. Have conversations with others so they understand your intentions
and objectives. Tell them why these ambitions are important to you.
Use objective, inclusive statements to motivate. Think about what you believe is possible and how you canhelp your people see what you see. Use words that convey collaboration. Communicate in which areas each
person can contribute to goals. Help people understand the individual impact they have on objectives. Yourinsights will be inspiring.
Recognize meaningful contributions. You are determined to make an impression and push to ensure thatevery decision you make is noteworthy. Do the same for others: Call out who is achieving success through theire orts. How can you continue to celebrate their work? Help others see why their work is important.
Create an organized plan for the successes you want to achieve. Consider the achievements that you will
be most proud of in the coming years: whether it’s a credential you want to earn, a board seat, a higher-level
leadership position or a philanthropic contribution. Whatever you choose, ensure the objectives align with yourvision and the di erence you want to make in the world.
