�The past.
Remember the past leadership experiences and leadership role models you’ve had; consider how these experiences influenced the formation of your own personal leadership attitudes, ideas, capabilities and behaviours. These memories may be either positive or negative experiences of leadership.
a. Identify a childhood memory of leading, or being led.
b. Identify an adolescence memory of leading, or being led.
c. Identify a young to middle adulthood memory of leading, or being led.
�The future. Imagine the type of leader you aspire to become, using George’s (2016) authentic leadership model as a framework for clarifying your vision. Consider three leadership contexts in articulating your personal vision:
a. Begin by exploring your personal vision of your self-leadership—that is, describe your vision of the life you want to create for yourself and how you will take responsibility for generating this life for yourself.
b. Then, consider how you might extend your leadership, by coaching others in their own self-leadership and collaborations with others.
c. Lastly, imagine how you might lead in organizational/social contexts.
d. End this section with one example of a SMART leadership development goal.
�The analysis. Analyze your present self-development as a leader by
(a) your potential strengths as a leader,
(b) the obstacles you might face in achieving your leadership development goal, and
(c) options you have to help you successfully achieve your goal. In your analysis, identify one way your personality (based on your Birkman report) can
(a) be a potential strength,
(b) an obstacle to achieving your goal, and
(c) expand your options to achieving your goal.
d. Lastly, assess if you are generating sufficient creative tension (or not) as a leader in your life in order to achieve your goal.
�The synthesis. Define how you intend to resolve the creative tension you are creating as a self-leader, connecting your past and future to your present. Specifically, outline your way forward—that is, your plan—to achieving your leadership development goal.
Identify the commitments you must make and the supports you need to achieve your leadership development goal and ultimately your vision of becoming the leader you aspire to be.
Also, outline the feedback structure, or success cycle system that you need to put in place to make continuous improvements towards achieving your goal and vision.

BIRKMAN COLOR KEY JIANI TAO
Birkman Signature Report | JIANI TAO (G63GSM) | ©2019, Birkman International, Inc. All rights reserved. 7
We take these four colors seriously at Birkman. Our use of color becomes shorthand for
understanding fundamental differences between people. Below is a breakdown of the
significance of each Birkman color.
R E
D G
R E
E N
Y E
L L
O W BL
U E
DOER RED is the Birkman color for people who
prefer to make quick decisions and get
results. Reds are direct and action-
oriented and give full attention to the task
at hand. Reds enjoy building, working with
their hands, organizing people and
projects, solving practical problems, and
producing an end product they can see
and feel. Reds are objective, energetic,
commanding and enjoy team competition.
Reds get results through action.
COMMUNICATOR GREEN is the Birkman color for people
with a strong desire to communicate and
work with people. Every time you see a
Green, they are selling, persuading,
promoting, motivating, counseling,
teaching or working with people to get
results. Greens who believe in a product,
service or idea can communicate about it
with ease and a natural confidence. If you
want someone to win friends and influence
people, a Green is your person for the job.
ANALYZER YELLOW is the Birkman color for people
who love working with processes, details,
definitions and rules. Yellows enjoy doing
careful and detailed calculations,
scheduling, recordkeeping, and
establishing systematic procedures. They
are usually comfortable with numbers,
place a high priority on being fair, and are
cautious and thorough in analysis.
Yellows are task-oriented and often prefer
indirect communication methods including
forms, rules and regulations. If you need
to get organized, find a Yellow.
THINKER BLUE is the Birkman color for the concept
and idea person. Blues love innovation,
being creative and long-term planning.
They enjoy abstract thinking and
discovering new ways to solve problems.
Blues thrive on generating fresh ideas and
coming up with the most viable solutions
for the problem at hand. Blues tend to be
introspective, and while they love
originality and innovation, they may need
to be around other creative individuals to
trigger the spark.

Your Birkman Map® provides an aerial
view of who you are and allows you to
see how and where you fit into the big
picture.
BIRKMAN MAP JIANI TAO
Birkman Signature Report | JIANI TAO (G63GSM) | ©2019, Birkman International, Inc. All rights reserved. 9
The Symbols on your Birkman Map identify who you are on two key dimensions. The placement
of the symbol within a color quadrant represents the degree to which you display similarities to
that color quadrant. The left and the right sides of the map (horizontal axis) represent your
preference for dealing with tasks or people. The top and the bottom (vertical axis) represent
whether you are more extroverted or introverted in your style.
INTERESTS – The Asterisk represents what you like to do and where you gravitate in terms of activities you enjoy.
USUAL BEHAVIOR – The Diamond represents how you usually behave. These are your strengths, and they compose your best, most productive style. This is how other people
see you. Usual Behavior is how you act when your Needs have been met.
NEEDS – The Circle represents how you need to be or expect to be treated by other people and your environment. Needs often remain hidden or invisible to others.
STRESS BEHAVIOR – The Square represents your frustrated behavior. This is your reactive, unproductive style. Stress Behavior is how you act when your Needs have not
been met for an extended period of time. You may see some of the challenges you face
arise here.

Birkman Signature Report | JIANI TAO (G63GSM) | ©2019, Birkman International, Inc. All rights reserved. 19
SOCIAL ENERGY Your sociability, approachability, and preference for group and team participation
Primarily you are "selectively sociable," preferring to relate to people on a one-to-one basis. You tend to
form close personal relationships with a few significant individuals.
Usual Behavior:
able to be and work alone
withstands group pressure
independent reasoning
Needs: For the most part you need to be free from the
pressure of group activities unless the group
includes some people to whom you are close. It is
important for you to spend "special" time with your
close friends and associates.
Causes of Stress: When circumstances prevent you from having
adequate time to be by yourself or in the company
of one or two close friends, you are likely to feel
some pressure or anxiety, causing you to withdraw
more and more from social situations.
Possible Stress Reactions When Needs Are Not Met:

withdrawal
tendency to ignore groups

PHYSICAL ENERGY Your preferred pace for action and physical expression of energy
The ability to make the most efficient use of your energies and those of others can be listed among your
assets. You recognize the importance of thought and planning before taking action.
Usual Behavior:
reflective
idea-minded
receptive
Needs: Likewise, you function best in an environment which
allows you to exercise your natural abilities. A
relaxed schedule is most comfortable for you; and
after surges of activity, you need time for reflection
and renewal.
Causes of Stress: The pressure of a heavy schedule or deadlines may
result in some anxiousness, especially if you feel
that time has been insufficient for careful thought
and planning.
Possible Stress Reactions When Needs Are Not Met:

EMOTIONAL ENERGY Your openness and comfort with expressing emotion
With your insight into your own and other people's feelings, you have considerable assets in the warmth
and sincerity that you display toward others. Recognizing the significance of emotions in people's
makeup, you tend to set high expectations.
Usual Behavior:
genuine in feelings
sympathetic
warm and caring
Needs: In the same way, it is important for you to feel the
encouragement to express your feelings and work
out your emotional responses. Sensing that others
are responsive to your feelings helps you maintain
an optimistic outlook.
Causes of Stress: To the extent to which others treat you with
detachment, or seem to be neglectful of your
feelings, you are likely to lean even more heavily on
subjective attitudes, possibly over-emphasizing the
importance of your personal feelings.
Possible Stress Reactions When Needs Are Not Met:
exaggerated moods
tendency to worry
feelings of hopelessness

SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS Your use of sensitivity when communicating with others
Among your considerable assets is your ability to deal with others on the basis of openness and
frankness, balanced with insight into their feelings. This makes it easy for you to avoid being either
blunt or evasive.
Usual Behavior:
at ease, yet insightful
balance of sensitivity and openness
direct without being blunt
Needs: It is important to you that other people respect and
appreciate you. You are at your best when you
sense that others are genuinely aware of your
feelings.
Causes of Stress: Because your need is in some contrast to your
usual style, other people may not be aware of your
feelings. When this happens, you are likely to
suspect that they are insensitive or indifferent
toward you.

shyness
over-sensitivity

Birkman Signature Report | JIANI TAO (G63GSM) | ©2019, Birkman International, Inc. All rights reserved. 23
ASSERTIVENESS Your tendency to speak up and express opinions openly and forcefully
You show a healthy respect for established authority, whether verbal or in the form of formal procedure
and control. It is relatively easy for you to take charge and direct activities, and see to it that pre-
arranged plans are executed.
Usual Behavior:
self-assertive
seeks to influence and excel
enjoys exercising authority
Needs: From others, you need personal and clear
instructions as to what they expect to have done.
You respect people who appear to you to be natural
authority figures, and expect them to enforce
strictly the boundaries of authority.
Causes of Stress: You can easily lose your respect for those in
positions of authority when it seems that they are
having difficulty showing strength. Your morale and
enthusiasm suffer in these situations.
Possible Stress Reactions When Needs Are Not Met:
provocative statements
undue assertiveness
becoming bossy or domineering

INSISTENCE Your approach to details, structure, follow-through, and routine
You enjoy exercising a certain amount of individual initiative while at the same time recognize the
importance of having systems and procedures in place and functioning. This flexibility facilitates
accomplishment.
Usual Behavior:
alert to new ideas
combines initiative with procedure
self-starting, but adaptable
Needs: A background of familiarity and support is most
conducive to the exercising of your strengths. It is
especially important for you to share in the reasons
and causes of projects that others ask you to
accomplish.
Causes of Stress: Without this background of organized support, you
may find yourself unexpectedly resistive to system
and procedure. When others are too casual, you
may not have sufficient identity with the purposes
and reasons for a task.
Possible Stress Reactions When Needs Are Not Met:
resistance to routine
neglect of detail
