Rui Serapicos's Assessment Results

Potential Blind SpotsBlind spots are characteristics that you overestimate. You are likely to see yourself as stronger in these skills thanothers see you. A self assessment can give you insight on potential areas for self improvement, however, askingothers for their input by doing a network assessment will give you far greater insight on your blind spots. Here areyour potential blind spots and some ideas for next steps:

Demonstrating Personal FlexibilityClearly, our world is in constant flux. And as the pace of change accelerates on all of us,organizations have become keenly aware of their need for people who can tuck and roll andkeep their balance in a context of continuous change.

Keep learning – Getting better and better at something you’re already good at does notgrow you as fast as pushing past your comfort zone and entering unfamiliar terrain. Seekout classes, opportunities to cross-team, or even lateral moves that will allow you toexercise new muscles and break up your routine.

Start again, and again – Resilience used to be a term used mostly in psychology andsports, but it’s creeping into the business lexicon. It refers to one’s ability to bounce backfrom setbacks, losses, or simple failure. Your grace in the face of such challenges and yourability to get back on the horse will communicate your resilience.

Think solutions – Where there’s a problem, there’s always a solution (or at least a braveattempt at one). Identifying problems is an important part of any job, but looking deep intothe heart of a problem and coming up with a recommended course of action is whatseparates the truly nimble from the rest of us.

Potential Hidden StrengthsHidden strengths are characteristics that you underestimate. You are likely to see yourself as weaker in theseskills than others see you. A self assessment can give you insight on potential areas for self improvement,however, asking others for their input by doing a network assessment will give you far greater insight on yourhidden strengths. Here are your potential hidden strengths:

Managing UpYou relate well with higher management. You manage your career well. You know what youwant in your career. You are proactive in positioning yourself—your career aspirations andinterests—to leaders who will influence your career trajectory. You do not hesitate to takeadvantage of opportunities that showcase your skills to higher management. This requiresconfidence, but gaining the support of your boss and senior leaders makes the risk worth it toyou.

Being Organizationally SavvyYou see the complexity of an organization—its policies, politics, people. You see navigatingthe political maze as a necessary means to get results. You know whom to go to for whatpurpose, how to usher a project through a myriad of stakeholders, and which messages orarguments will influence key decision makers. You are up to speed on titles as well aspersonalities and relationships. You gracefully navigate a tangled, high-stakes web of egos,agendas, changing priorities, and sometimes outrageous demands. You leverage yourunderstanding of the organizational landscape to adjust your approach for the best outcome.

Korn/Ferry InsightsHere’s how you compare to others:

Understanding the BusinessUnderstanding the Business is moderately important at all levels of leadership and is linked tosuccess early in your career. The skill level for most people in Understanding the Business isvery high, so you will need to combine it with other skills to pull ahead of the pack. One of thereasons most people have this skill is that it’s easier to learn, compared to other skills. Yourknowledge of how businesses operate and your expertise in your functional area are likely tobe considered price-of-admission qualities.

Acting with Honor and CharacterActing with Honor and Character is ranked highest in importance compared to all otherleadership skills. It is the foundation upon which all other leadership skills are built. Mostpeople are highly skilled in Acting with Honor and Character. It is moderately difficult todevelop. Being trustworthy, consistent, and ethical are viewed by most employers as price-of-admission leadership qualities.

Creating the New and DifferentCreating the New and Different is correlated with strong performance at the manager andexecutive levels. Most people’s skill level in Creating the New and Different is low, and it isharder to develop than most leadership skills. For these reasons, it is a good idea to focus ondeveloping this skill as early as possible in your career. Your ability to generate breakthroughswill be noticed, appreciated, and sought after because it is the source of competitiveadvantage that companies seek.

Relating SkillsRelating Skills are particularly important at the individual contributor level. Most people’s skill inthis area is high, and it is moderately difficult to develop. Leaders who are skilled in this areaare also likely to be skilled in Managing Diverse Relationships and Being Open and Receptive.While the presence of these interpersonal skills may not be enough to get you promoted, theabsence of these skills can stymie your progression up the leadership ladder.

Inspiring OthersInspiring Others is very important at the manager and executive levels. It is highly correlatedwith strong performance at the executive level. However, very few people are skilled in thisarea. One of the reasons few people have this skill is that it’s difficult to learn. Rallying peoplearound a common vision and motivating them to embrace change and give their best willdifferentiate you and your organization. Begin honing your ability to inspire others at themanager level because it can be a critical asset for you as you move up the leadership ladder.

Managing UpManaging Up is a strong skill for most people across all leadership levels. However, it may notbe surprising that the skill improves as leaders move up to the manager and executive levels.Many people are not aware of their ability to manage up—it is one of the most common hiddenstrengths for individual contributors, managers, and executives. Your ability to garner supportfrom senior leaders gives you the opportunity to position your ideas and influence your careertrajectory.

Being Organizationally SavvyBeing Organizationally Savvy is moderately important across all leadership levels. It is a rareskill at the individual contributor level, but leaders steadily improve as they rise to the managerand executive levels. Slow but steady improvement is laudable, given that this is one of the

hardest leadership skills to develop. Being Organizationally Savvy is one of the most commonhidden strengths at the executive level. Your ability to navigate organizational mazes to getthings done can mean the difference between stalled initiatives and moving things forward.

Demonstrating Personal FlexibilityDemonstrating Personal Flexibility is a very low skill for most people. It is also harder forpeople to develop because it involves the willingness to respond to feedback and to change.Change can be hard for people, and personal change can be even more challenging. Peopleoften overestimate their ability in this area; it is a common blind spot across all levels ofleadership. Enhancing your ability to adjust, adapt, and flex in response to feedback orchanging conditions will make you a resilient and nimble leader.
