You are...
Adaptable
The observer notices what makes people successful in the workplace and tries to replicate that. They are willing to adapt their style if it means it will open doors of opportunity.
Curious
The Observer believes the workplace is a meritocracy and is curious why there is not more diversity in leadership. It seems that differences in progression come down to personal choices and/or personal styles.
Mentor
An Observer makes a great mentor, helping to coach others on how to navigate the workplace and learn what gets noticed and rewarded. You may see a colleague that needs to speak up more (or tone it down a little). You may know someone who often mentions that childcare impacts their availability and want to suggest they minimise references to their children.
Respectful
Observers strongly value a respectful workplace. For that reason, they may prefer to focus on areas of commonality and steer clear of sensitive topics.
Areas for growth...
You strive to build up and support all kinds of people. But remember that inclusion happens when people feel valued while being themselves, not when they have to behave in the same way as everyone else.
A note of caution for the Observer is to be aware of when you might be trying to “fix” individuals to fit into a certain style instead of realizing how the company can adapt to develop and harness talent that presents in different ways. Think about what’s really required to do the job - not just the way we are used to the job being done.
Expand your observation skills to look at the patterns of who gets heard, who gets invited to meetings, and who gets opportunity.
