After completing the assessment and viewing Robert Quinn’s “Completing Values Framework”, it shocked me to find out where I was placed on the circular scale.
Up to this point I have always looked at myself working very well with others, while also enjoying being in charge. I saw myself as a good manager yet only in certain aspects, especially interpersonal relationships. This assessment proved that I was right about that, but it also gave me a different view.
