Development Opportunities

Key Development Areas

Your experimenter style (low CI of 3.3) means you often start new initiatives before completing existing ones, diluting your impact
You struggle to maintain consistent focus on long-term priorities, scoring well below other leaders in consistency (-2.9 vs benchmark)
While you partner well, you may avoid making tough calls when consensus isn't possible, letting important decisions drift

Recommended Next Steps

Create a 'commitment filter' - before starting anything new, review your existing projects and explicitly decide what needs to pause
Schedule regular check-ins with key community partners focused specifically on long-term strategic priorities, not just current projects
Practice making clear decisions when group agreement isn't possible - document your reasoning and communicate it transparently

Spiritual Foundation: God calls us to be both faithful stewards and collaborative kingdom-builders - your pattern reflects this dual calling

🎯 Growth Challenges
