Your objective is to believe and to do 'the right thing'. Of course, 'the right thing' differs from person to person, but one thing is true - you have a certain set of values that you are not ready to compromise. Moreover, these values are like a compass guiding you, providing a direction and giving your life meaning and satisfaction. You believe that money is not the ultimate measure of success. Some people call you the person of purpose. Correspondingly, you choose people you spend time with and companies you work for with respect to the alignment to these values.

Your objective is to focus on the most important things. To keep the focus you need something to focus on - therefore, weekly, monthly, annual goals are your biggest friends. Goals also help you to filter out what is important and what is not. You ask yourself every day if what you are doing brings you closer to your destination and lack of such a destination can create real confusion in your mind. As the result, the others see you as a very efficient and self-regulated person. It also makes you a very valuable team member. If anyone starts to wander around exploring side avenues, you quickly bring them back to the main road and to the point.

Your objective is to take responsibility. If there is a person who is emotionally bound to follow through on all promises - then it's you. Your strong ethical principles do not let you to simply write missteps off on excuses and rationalizations. It holds true no matter how small or large is the issue you are dealing with. Your name and reputation depend on you being responsible for your commitments. That's why people love to have you in their team. When assigning new responsibilities, they look at you first. They are 100% sure that what'll get on your desk - will get done no matter what.

Your objective is to see the big picture. Have you heard about 'taking the helicopter view'? In your case, you are constantly on this helicopter! That's not even a skill, it's a special way of seeing things - a special perspective on the world at large, where everything is interconnected. While others could be confused by your short-terms steps, in your mind you have a clear multi-step strategy on how to arrive at the desired outcome and to avoid paths leading nowhere. Such a strategist is an essential asset for any team determined to find a clear direction in a complex situation.
