You are a Scrappy Starter
Your results show that you or someone on your team is a Scrappy Starter, an individual buzzing with raw potential, high energy, and a fierce desire to make your mark.
You are all hustle and heart. Like a Honey Badger or a Fox, you attack your work with enthusiasm and a "can-do" attitude. You might still be learning the ropes or developing your technical skills, but what you lack in experience, you more than make up for in grit and determination. You are hungry to prove yourself, and that hunger is your greatest asset.
Your Opportunity
Your ambition is a powerful engine for growth. Because you are so eager to learn and succeed, you have the potential to master new skills faster than anyone else. You aren't held back by "how things have always been done," which allows you to bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to the table. With your drive, you are well on your way to becoming a future star of the team.
Your Challenge
Energy without direction can sometimes lead to chaos. Your hustle is impressive, but without a clear roadmap, it can lead to avoidable mistakes or burnout. Your challenge is to pair your ambition with patience and structure. You need to seek out mentorship, ask the right questions, and commit to the process of learning.
Your journey is about turning that raw ambition into refined expertise. Don't just run fast; run smart. Build your skills, trust the path, and watch your potential turn into performance.
What Next?
So, you've looked at your grid and found that you or someone on your team is a firecracker. They are in the "Scrappy Starter" quadrant, that exciting space of high ambition and developing skills. They have the hunger, the drive, and the energy to take on the world. You have a gem in the rough.
But what kind of gem is it? A raw, energetic starter is full of potential, but to polish them effectively, you must understand their unique brand of scrappy. Are they a hyper-focused Jack Russell, a fearless Honey Badger, a curious Monkey, or a clever Fox? Each one needs a different kind of leash, or maybe no leash at all.
The online quiz is just the first step in your leadership expedition. It helps you understand where you and your team currently stand but the next step is even more important. Found in the pages of this book, you’ll uncover the "WHY." Why do you or your team members fall into this particular quadrant? Understanding this will give you the clarity needed to address underlying motivations and obstacles.
From there, the final step in the process is learning how to inspire your team to self-motivate. This is where true growth happens, when each person gains the confidence and drive to push themselves toward excellence. Leading this transformation isn’t just about commands or strategies; it’s about fostering a culture where every individual feels empowered to reach their full potential.
