You are the Problem Solver, skilled in the element of Seeking, which embodies curiosity and is one of the elements in Cultivate TRUST, a trauma-informed leadership model. 


This indicates you're insatiably curious and always on the quest for knowledge about subjects, systems, and people. You naturally see systemic connections and innovative solutions when situations feel overwhelming.


You're the leader staff turn to when they're stuck, when systems aren't working, or when they need someone who can shift their entire perspective on a problem. You have a unique gift for bringing together knowledge and intuition in ways that help others see innovative solutions they couldn't see before. Your methodical approach creates stability in chaotic moments.

What This Means About Your Leadership Identity

As the Problem Solver, you naturally see innovative solutions and systemic connections when situations feel overwhelming. You've always been skilled at systematic thinking, but leadership means applying this to team dynamics where your analytical gifts naturally make you a valuable resource for breakthrough insights and creative solutions.


Your natural strengths:

  • You see innovative possibilities and connections that others miss completely
  • You ground people when anxiety is high by offering alternative perspectives
  • You make complex information accessible and actionable for your team
  • You ensure decisions are based on thorough analysis rather than reactive emotions
  • You provide stability and clear thinking when others are caught in drama or panic


The invisible labor you carry:

  • Noticing inefficiencies and missing pieces everywhere while watching preventable problems unfold
  • The mental load of synthesizing complex information and seeing systematic connections that others don't track
  • Processing multiple variables simultaneously while others focus on individual components of the system
  • Maintaining objectivity and analytical thinking when emotions are running high around you

The Leadership Transition No One Prepared You For


Your clinical competence remains strong, but leadership requires different tools. You might not have expected that your natural solution-focused approach would need to slow down to allow space for team members to process emotions and relational dynamics before moving to solutions.


Growth Areas That Honor Your Analytical Nature


Your systematic thinking sometimes create unintended challenges in leadership contexts:

  • Including emotional check-ins during team meetings - these might feel inefficient, but they provide important data about team dynamics and process impacts
  • Providing regular updates even without complete solutions - sharing your thinking process helps others feel included rather than left in the dark
  • Acknowledging the relational aspect of work - directly sharing what you appreciate about team members alongside process feedback
  • Supporting collaborative learning approaches - balancing your preference for independence with others' needs for guided skill development
