With the HOW of Right Way, you think that there is a proper and correct way to do things, and that things should be done right. You achieve success by following procedures that have been proven. You also prefer to use systems that have been developed, tested, and shown to work over time, and you have no problem making adjustments and corrections numerous times in order to produce the right outcomes. You know that if you stick to structures and processes that work, the right results will follow.You understand that operations run smoothly when they have been tried and tested.

You generally show up on time because that’s the right thing to do, and you appreciate when others respect a set schedule. Through your internal process, you embrace order and instill it into your personal life and business.

The challenge that comes with the HOW of Right Way is that if left unchecked, the tendency is to become rigid and inflexible. The phrase my way or the highway is something that you connect to doing things the right way and it often leads to you believing that there’s only one proper way to accomplish an objective. Obviously this can lead to friction with those who see the world through a different filter, especially those who are far more comfortable with rolling with the punches and innovating as they go along.

The solution is to realize that the Right Way for you may not be the right way for someone else. You will always be in command of those things on your watch and you can make sure that they are done properly, however to get along well with others you must respect their results without the need to be in complete command of the process they use. People with other WHYs may have a different way to accomplish objectives – ways that from their perspective are equally right and just as valuable as your way. You are most often the go-to person that others seek out when they need  someone to  create and implement new systems, processes and procedures. 

If your HOW is doing things the Right Way, you do well in relationships where structure is established and rules and systems are followed. You like specifics decided upon and standards that are stuck to. You are predictable, safe, and you can be counted on to do what you say you will do. You are typically on-time (5 minutes early is late!), show up ready to go, and will have a schedule you want to follow if you are to have the best time possible. 

You like structured vacations where things are planned in advance, and you tend to know what you want (and don’t want). You are good at decision making, so you don’t hem and haw about what you’re going to do.  Once you’ve decided, everyone else is along for the ride! You typically don’t like spontaneity, and you much prefer following the plan and sticking to what you know will bring you a consistent and predictable evening or event, even if that means you’ll miss out on a new opportunity.

You are a wonderful person to have on the team that is struggling with getting things done on time and in a predictable manner. You create structure out of chaos and bring life to ideas that have been brainstormed; however, you need to be careful to clarify expectations when included in group planning sessions, and be sure to understand whether the team plans to brainstorm without actually taking action on the ideas presented. You naturally want to take the ideas and implement them, but that isn’t always what the team intends!

You do great with new challenges because you will research the right way to do what is needed and then put it together in a way that will work. You could be considered the “HOW-to” team member because you are all about working out the processes and getting things done.
