30-day agile results (12): Efficiency role-are you the starter or the completer?

 

"Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we cocould be ."-Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Some people are born starters. They are good at thinking new ideas, have too many ideas to start, and like to start new things. But when things are shaped, they will leave to look for the next innovation; there are also some people who are born completers who prefer to achieve satisfaction by completing a complete task from start to end. When the starter and the completer work together, they can create a win-win situation. This article introduces the concept of efficiency role. We can use it to better understand ourselves, so that we can achieve better results, either in a person or in a team or in any situation. Do you know whether you are the starter or the completer? Do you know other efficiency roles? If you want to better understand yourself, you can take a look at the efficiency roles provided in this article to see which type of role you are and who you are working with will be more effective.

 

Your results:Know which efficiency roles you belong to and better understand yourself for better results

 

In30-day agile results: OpeningSpeaking of the following, we will conduct agile results exercises. The previous article learned 11: High Performance and slow life. Today we start the 12th days of getting result exercises. Efficiency role-are you the creator or Terminator? : Day 12-productivity personas-are you a starter or a finisher?

 

Three efficiency roles

1. Learn about yourself
   You can use efficiency roles to better understand yourself. If you are clear about the features of these roles, it is helpful for you.For example, do not let your inner critics or perfectionists prevent you from becoming a real man.. Ask yourself,"When will I do my best? I prefer the starter or the completer? I prefer to be complicated or simplified? I am more inclined to be a thinker or a real-person expert ?"
2. Collaboration
   Using Efficiency roles allows you to align with complementary people, which provides your efficiency. You can also use efficiency roles to build an efficient team to optimize team collaboration. Ask yourself,"Who can work with me to get better results? How can I build a more efficient team? Who should be paired to get better results ?"
3. Improve the situation
   You can imagine how to better collaborate with others and why there are conflicts with others, based on these scenarios to improve the form. For example, if you really need a starter in this situation, and you cannot get rid of the completion mode, you should look for a starter to do it. Ask yourself,"What is the best behavior in this situation ?"

Efficiency roles  

The starter and completion are just a mirror. There are still many efficiency roles available for our reference:
