At a Glance
Strategist Strengths

- • Converts complex, abstract ideas into plans people can actually execute
- • Stays cool under pressure; high stakes sharpen your focus rather than scatter it
Custodian Strengths
- • Provides the kind of leadership people actually trust—steady, principled, and accountable
- • Uses authority to protect the vulnerable rather than serve your own ego
- • Builds things that last: teams, systems, traditions that survive your absence
