Competition

Influencing

“If it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?” - Vince Lombardi

Competition is rooted in comparison.

I am driven to be Number 1 at whatever I do. It is a relentless drive that compels me to find a route to becoming the best. This can be very intimidating to some but I really do believe that second is simply not good enough. I spend my time ranking everything so that I can easily identity a way in which I can be the best at what I do. I will then focus all my energy on that path until I have achieved that goal. I am inspired and challenged by having people around me who are as driven as I am (or more).

MY unique TALENT

MY SUPerpower

Competitive Drive

MY instinctive Ability

You have a relentless drive to win; you will stop at nothing until you are number 1.

The drive I naturally bring

You have the ability to drive others to climb the rankings to number 1. Consequently you can raise a group's achievement level by creating a culture of winning and an aspiration to be the best.

What can I naturally create?

You create a drive in people to focus on where they can be number 1 (at what they do), and then continuously push them until they reach number 1. Winners inspire nations and tribes. You create that drive to win that sees you push through the hard times.

BEING MORE EFFECTIVE

know this:

You want to win, which usually means outperforming others.

You will work hard to excel — especially in comparison to others.You constantly compare yourself and your performance to other people and their performances.

You may not be willing to try something if you think you can’t 'win' at it. Other people may consider your competitiveness in- appropriate and therefore push you away, reject you, or accuse you of being arrogant.

try this:

Aim for first place, and you'll always finish strong.

Create daily measures of success for you and the teams you are involved with.

Strive to learn what it takes to win consistently.

Frequently review measurements of your past performances.

Your talents will naturally drive you to identify and surpass your personal records. Take the time to celebrate your wins.

In your world, there is no victory without celebration. Seek competitive friends. Turn ordinary tasks into competitive games.

You will get more done this way. Know when it's time to say "winning isn't everything in this situation."

Finding win-win solutions can lead to positive relationships with others while maintaining your own motivation.

Facing your personal challenge:

This is a powerful drive that is relentless and unforgiving. You will compare yourself endlessly to everything around you - and in areas you cannot compete in, you will simply give up or sabotage others. This drive needs to work for you, not you for it. The key to harnessing its strength will be to define the values that will underpin how you win.

Watch out for: Trying to win at everything. You may not have any friends left.
