Your BrainShift IQ reveals how you deal with constraints in the face of disruption. Specifically, how you shift the odds in your favor.
We examine how well you see what others don’t, do what others say can’t be done, and influence others to see and do what isn’t considered possible.
The key is how you see the field of play. Your BrainShift IQ compares you to the best of the best, the Game Changers, not to the people you know.
Level One:
Maintains The Status Quo by persisting in the familiar and known, and avoiding loss and conflict. They avoid new approaches because they seriously don’t want to feel the regret of a mistake. You can spot this behavior by how quickly they jump to conclusions. They close down bigger thinking in order to reduce risk immediately.
Not thinking strategically, this is a powerless position and subtracts from the ability to affect proactive change.
Level Two
Maintains The Status Quo confirming what they already know, and reinforcing the existing way. This is about sincerity rather than accuracy. This approach is not strategic; it takes marching orders and is able to exercise short-term power over others.
Level Three:
Attempts to deal with The Status Quo by compromising with it. A collaborator is willing to have their views challenged. This additive approach begins to think strategically and unlocks an increased sense of power for the group. Collaborators are catalysts. Unfortunately, because these skills are so rare, most leaders mistake good Collaborators for Game Changers.
Level Four
Advances beyond the familiar, tests and outmaneuvers The Status Quo. They know how to shift structures to change behavior and are strategically driven and skilled at creating maximum gains with the least effort. They develop sound judgment and penetrating insight. The Multiplier possess the power to influence.
Level Five:
Consistently innovates and turns The Status Quo on its head. Their strategic advancement and transformational rule changes outmaneuver the expected obstacles and competition. Game Changers leverage the network of forces to advance with speed, impact and power.
