The Strategist is one of the five proclivities/inclinations mapped by The GC Index® (a.k.a. The Game-Changing Index).

This powerful organimetric empowers organisations to drive performance and achieve innovation by creating game-changing teams and cultures.

I'm too a Strategist, and after my review session with the co-Creator of The GC Index® - DrJohn Mervyn-Smith, I found out how my natural tendencies played a critical role in my energy for specific tasks and interactions. So I could finally connect the dots.

Yes, connecting the dots and seeing the bigger picture are indeed Strategist characteristics.

If you are a team leader/ manager and you have Strategists in your team, here is how you can help them leverage their inclinations to make a game-changing impact on your organisation's projects:

The Polisher is another proclivity/inclination mapped by The GC Index® (a.k.a. The Game-Changing Index).

The GC Index® is a language and framework that aligns the impact and contribution of all their people to business processes and outcomes.

As a Polisher myself, I have a drive for continuous improvement, seeking to better myself, my roles, activity, and team.

If you are a team leader/ manager and you have Polishers in your team, here is how you can help them leverage their inclinations to make a game-changing impact on your organisation's projects:

The Play Maker is one of the five proclivities/inclinations mapped by The GC Index® (a.k.a. The Game-Changing Index).

Working towards a common goal is crucial for successful organisations. And as a team leader, you know that when you have everyone aligned and giving their best, game-changing transformation is inevitable.

Some of your team members have natural inclinations towards being Play Makers, towards creating consensus, unity and purpose. They bring everyone together and move forward projects.

Your organisational goals can be to win the Formula 1 World Constructors' Championship or to provide 1 Billion Meals as the biggest food distribution campaign in the region. No matter how big the goal might seem, lead with compassion, courage and kindness.

Remember, they have high energy towards orchestrating the future by bringing everyone together on the same objectives.

Here is how you can support the Play Makers in your team:

The Implementer is another proclivity/inclination identified by The GC Index® (a.k.a. The Game-Changing Index).

When you have someone in your team that is an Implementer, you've struck gold.

And here's why from my perspective:

- they have high energy for making things happen
- Implementers are driven to achieve their goals
- their energy is renewed and sustained in action.

Great strategies (created together with your Strategists) can then be tested in real-life contexts with the help of the Implementers in your team.

You will find many Implementers in professions such as sales, medicine, engineering. And not all the Implementers have a big-type personality, so you might not recognise them entirely.

And as a team leader, here are some things to consider when looking to empower and motivate your fellow Implementers:

The Game Changer is the fifth proclivity/inclination revealed with the help of The GC Index® (a.k.a. The Game-Changing Index).

Innovation and creativity - these are at the heart of any company that seeks to constantly and sustainably grow.

But how do you get the data that highlights who has the potential and natural inclination to think outside of the box and generate new possibilities and ideas? Look no further than The GC Index®, as it is the first and only organimetric available in the market that describes how individuals (and teams) approach their work, how they can make their best impact and how they best complement the impact of others.

If you've already used The GC Index® to identify the Game Changers in your team (known for creative thinking and generating new ideas), here is what you can do as a leader to support them in maximising their impact and contribution:
