The talent 'Giving way to others'

This talent helps you make others feel heard and valued at work. Imagine attending a team meeting where everyone is eager to share ideas. And instead of dominating the conversation, you listen attentively to your colleagues, allowing them to express their opinion. By staying in the background and not drawing attention to yourself, you create an environment where people feel comfortable enough to contribute. This approach fosters open communication and better cooperation within a team. Furthermore, your colleagues know that if you do speak up, it is always with relevant and valuable input. Your ability to accept people as they are and keep confidence makes you a trusted and reliable colleague. This strengthens mutual trust within a team.

This talent helps you stay out of the limelight and give way to others to share their ideas. However, you also need to watch out for potential pitfalls. Since you don’t like being in the foreground, there is a risk that your achievements and ideas will go unnoticed. Colleagues might overlook or underestimate you simply because you don’t actively promote your successes and insights. Due to your tendency to speak up when it’s only necessary, you may fail to provide important information or feedback on time, and decisions will be made without your valuable input. Your discreet approach can make you seem too aloof and less accessible to colleagues who thrive on direct and frequent communication.
