Activator
Activator® as Team Captain:
Use your powerful Activator talent to unleash courage to take powerful action and catalyze momentum, and to help others get unstuck.
Activator
- Activator is often labeled as impulsive, spontaneous--it's hard for them to sit still. They have the energy to get things moving and are often thinking, “When do we get started?”
- The energy for Activator is in the first few seconds of the launch of a rocket. It’s the initial thrust of what something might become or where it might go. Activator isn’t as worried about where it ends up or how it's going to finish. They just want to get things started.
- In relationship or on a team, Activator contributes to helping people who are hung up or held back. Activators help them get forward movement, get traction, break through, and build momentum.
- Partner with others who can help you follow through (e.g., Responsibility, Achiever, or Focus).
- Know that your gift is being a catalyst--to be very action-oriented. You can give others a boost of courage to get their dream activated, to get that project started.
- Be aware of and ready to communicate to others that your gift is getting things off the ground rather than across the finish line.
- Activator contributes something really powerful, especially to people that are feeling stuck.
Wondering if this Strength is being a Ball-Hog? Here are a few questions to ask:
- How will it affect others if I activate right now?
- Is there a better time to get this started?
- What else needs to happen before we start?
- What kind of pace is appropriate?
- Are others ready to activate on the same level?
- Is this serving others or am I being impatient?
