Dang your company pushes all the envelopes, doesn't it? Interesting questionnaire.

Main Strength - I see some value in all perspectives. This becomes a weakness when I allow the value in others' perspectives to eclipse my own.

Main weakness - Lazy. I love to sit around and stare at stuff, day dream about it, let it seep in. I sometimes have very unproductive days. This becomes a strength when I am rested and happy as a result.

This was for me - not company wide. But I have to say, the company has been supportive of personal growth.

What do you think is the trigger for this? Is it when you get the sense they have more "authority" (in some way) than you?

If they wield authoritarian mannerisms, I am easily cowed. I developed this sorry trait as a child; my father was very scary if anyone disagreed with him and, for a long time, I had no opinions of my own. I've gotten better about this, but I tend not to speak up if I am the only one in a group with a certain point of view, the kind of point of view that is getting many arrested in other countries. It's not quite illegal to think in the US. Yet.
