Problem Solving Strengths

My number one strength is positivity and this would really help me in problem solving. Many times when I am trying to solve are problem are even just get organized I seem to get overwhelmed and when you add negative energy to the mix I crack. My positivity helps me keep a realistic perspective on all the is happening and helps me focus more on what is going right than what is going wrong. 

If the problem I was trying to solve involved group work I definitely think my number three strength, developer. As a developer I can focus on finding each person's strengths. Then help each person find a position where they serve the group best and are able to use all their strengths to help solve the problem.

My second strength, connectedness, could help a group see how the work we are doing fits into a bigger picture, but I could end up trying to get everyone to see the big picture and get sidetracked from the task at had. 

My fourth strength is belief. I have a really strong faith and I try to do everything for God's glory. My faith, as much as I hate to say it, may "freak" some people out in a group project because when times get tough I always turn to prayer so it may be awkward for others in the group. But on my own my belief is a HUGE help because having quiet time and praying really helps me regroup and gain a new perspective to the problem.

When I am trying to solve problems with others I usually struggle with staying away from socializing and trying to pump people up rather than helping them solve the problem. I basically can be a distraction.
