This logical energy is a talent to exam inconsistent or underdeveloped ideas which lead to robust foundations based on evidence in lieu of opinions or influences. As a natural skeptic, this trait questions the validity of everything and asks about the integrity or safety of the team’s process or product. Your methodical approach to examining topics ensures that results are reliable and sustainable in the long term. Through your focus on data and evidence, you prevent personal uncertainties or external expectations from interfering with your process. Your pursuit of truth and precision brings structure and stability to every undertaking.
Additionally, this doubtful energy can be of great value to in the marketing and sales department. This trait can be used to craft a message to your customers that whatever questions they are trying to resolve, your product or service is the answer.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Overthinking can lead to overstimulation and overwhelm, and you may find yourself questioning your own actions and achievements, questioning if you are truly good enough, struggling to find a sense of self-appreciation for your contributions at work. Avoid projecting yourself as superior or heroic, stay humble and remain aware because circumstances can suddenly shift. Develop a balance between healthy skepticism and analysis paralysis. Instead of getting fixed on one set truth, explore multiple perspectives and recognize that truth can be subjective and multilayered.
Ask yourself:
Is my overthinking impacting my relationships with my colleagues? Am I projecting my doubt onto others in my work environment?
Do the questions I ask plant seeds to stimulate imagination or plant seeds of discouragement and doubt?
