Context means that you look back to the past to understand the present. In short, all answers lie in the past.
Context means that you look back to the past to understand the present. In short, all answers lie in the past.
quote:
You look back. You look back because that is where the answers lie. You look back to understand the present. From your vantage point the present is unstable, a confusing clamor of competing voices. It is only by casting your mind back to an earlier time, a time when the plans were being drawn up, that the present regains its stability. The earlier time was a simpler time. It was a time of blueprints. As you look back, you begin to see these blueprints emerge. You realize what the initial intentions were. These blueprints or intentions have since become so embellished that they are almost unrecognizable, but now this Context theme reveals them again. This understanding brings you confidence. No longer disoriented, you make better decisions because you sense the underlying structure. You become a better partner because you understand how your colleagues came to be who they are. And counterintuitively you become wiser about the future because you saw its seeds being sown in the past. Faced with new people and new situations, it will take you a little time to orient yourself, but you must give yourself this time. You must discipline yourself to ask the questions and allow the blueprints to emerge because no matter what the situation, if you haven't seen the blueprints, you will have less confidence in your decisions.
Action Items for the Context Theme
Collect memories through photographs and written materials -- they can be motivational for you.
Read historical novels, non-fiction, or biographies. You will discover many insights that will help you understand the present. You will think more clearly.
Before planning begins on a project, encourage your colleagues to study past projects. Help them appreciate the statement that "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
If you are in a role that requires teaching others, build your lessons around case studies. You will enjoy the search for the appropriate case, and your students will learn from these precedents. Use your understanding of the past to help others map the future.
Help your organization strengthen its culture via folklore. For example, collect symbols and stories that represent the best of the past, or suggest naming an award after a person who embodied the best of the past.
Be ready to:
Partner with someone with a strong Futuristic or Strategic theme. This person's fascination with what "could be" will stop you from becoming mired in the past, while your deep understanding of Context will stop him or her from ignoring the lessons of the past. Together you are more likely to create something that lasts.
Accept change. Remember that the Context theme does not equate with "living in the past." Instead, you can actually become known as an active agent for positive change. Your strong Context theme should allow you to identify more clearly than most the aspects of the past that can be discarded, and those that must be retained in order to build a sustainable future.

IRL this describes me perfectly.
On a message board I don't give a shite about historical context.

You have two of the strengths that perfectly compliment my strengths.
We'd make a formidable team.

Mizzouskills, I had to complete the strength finders test during the interview process. After the managers of the department along with other supervisors received my results, they aligned those with that of other individuals in the department. I guess it was their way of trying to find employees that complemented each other well. The job was horrible but my co-worker an I worked well together, so I guess they did succeed in finding employees that complemented each other well.

If you two worked well together, then the goal was achieved. Strengths finder doesn't guarantee that you'll enjoy your job.
It's purpose is to get you to focus on your strengths and other people's strengths so that the team works more efficiently as better employee relationships are developed in the process.
