You are the
Steadfast Stabilizer & Navigator
PATIENT | DEPENDABLE | STABLE
You likely approach change cautiously and methodically, valuing consistency and teamwork to help you (or others) navigate transitions smoothly.
You may typically find yourself using your nurturing qualities to guide others through transitions with care.
“As a steadfast stabilizer and navigator, you excel in team environments and offer patience as an incredible asset to deal with the confusing nature of workplace transitions. Your natural ability to resolve conflicts helps to maintain an atmosphere of continuity during change in the workplace, by recommending gradual and stability-based processes and approaches.
You are people oriented, and hold sincerity and loyalty to be extremely important. Cooperation and dependability are some of your superpowers, your calm disposition brings predictability, stability, and consistency.”
-Naomi Hattaway, Founder and CEO
Leaving Well for the Steadfast Stabilizer & Navigator
People leave.
Resignations, terminations, transitions and other necessary endings are common challenges facing each and every one of us. Yet, we often behave as though the reality of leaving is taboo. The culture of leaving well protects your individual reputation (and that of organizations as well), preserves and promotes our mental health, and helps maintain professional relationships.
In other words: the way people leave is actually where we should begin.
You have an ability to cultivate harmony and stability.
As a Steadfast Stabilizer & Navigator archetype you naturally strive for an environment that shares team accomplishments. Your natural alignment with the power of security allows you to support those around you during times of transition. Take opportunities to promote yourself and celebrate your personal growth in adapting to change.
Keep an eye open for moments when you can lean into the discomfort of change, and realize that anything that feels like you’ve let people down is not a direct result of your accommodation of others. You are a natural collaborator who likes to reach consensus and create win-win situations. Try to balance passivity and overcome being indecisive so as not to let others take advantage of your supportive nature.
The best part? This also serves you at the same time. Because you lead with inclusivity and humility, your archetype gives you all the superpowers when it comes to affirmation and influencing others by your own consistent performance and the accommodation of others preferences. When navigating your own workplace transition, understanding your archetype helps you leverage your inherent traits and strengths to make the process smoother and more successful.
