The Expert’s Mindset
You’re a person who believes in holding yourself and others to a high standard of excellence
Your mindset is driven by accuracy, precision, and attention to detail. As an organized, logical problem solver, you take pride in making decisions based on research and analysis. You move through your workday conscientiously and with intention, and your colleagues admire you for your ability to see a project through to its end. You love flexing your creative side to solve tough problems.
What You’re Great At
With an Expert’s Mindset, you’re a details person who thinks through how and why things happen the way they do during your workday. Your focus on processes and procedures helps you complete tasks you’ve committed to and streamline complicated work. People appreciate that you take the time to define expectations, give clear instructions, and measure performance objectively. You’re even-tempered and not afraid to voice problems you see with the plan or an already existing system.
Your organization and attention to detail is superb - but sometimes that forces you to get too bogged down in the small stuff and miss the big picture. Because you’re good at your work, you may tend to work independently, resist delegating, or expect others to uphold your same organizational standards. Your workday mindset is influenced by your desire for clear-cut boundaries and your love for procedures and methods can sometimes leave you inflexible and unable to adapt. Without structure, it can be difficult for you to feel comfortable or be efficient during your workday.
Potential Workday Challenges
How To Address Those Challenges
If you want to strengthen your Expert’s Mindset, shift your focus toward recognizing and remaining open-minded to the unique strengths of others - even if you find them frustrating. People admire your talents, so look for opportunities to highlight them by taking on organizational responsibilities or working with others who have a similarly direct approach. Even though you’re the expert, try to get comfortable with incrementally delegating and stay connected by sharing updates with others about the work you’re doing.
For almost every Expert, there’s one thing that stands in the way of improving your workday: fear of criticism. The fear of criticism can cause you to overthink your work, ignore your instincts, and prevent you from navigating your workday with confidence. Transcending this fear is challenging - but in doing so you’ll unlock massive amounts of independence and autonomy in your workday. Learning how to hone your workday mindset is the place to start.
