After answering the discussion question, you need to reply to another student. I will provide it after you finish.
Respond to student:
My results from the CGWA quiz was that I am the weakest in attracting. I tend not to find alignment and build a vision to influence other people, according to the CGWA quiz. This sense of style is considered to motivate and help people achieve their goals. I feel like I try to inspire others around me, but not sure if I am successful at doing so. I think this style helps best in a managerial position or in a group activity. This is not something I would want my employees/team members to encounter in the workplace. However, I learned that attracting has constructive feedback and can be useful in long-term intentions. I will try to improve in attracting to better demonstrate an atmosphere of optimism. I scored a 62 on the Mindtools survey and I am considered a strong influencer. One influencing skill that stood out to me the most was to help colleagues with their workload as you never know when you may need their help. When I used to serve tables in a restaurant, this was always on my mind. There were only two servers at a time dividing the sections up into nine tables each. Therefore, if the other server was getting almost a full section and I could assist in anyway, I would. This would ultimately help boost tips and help alleviate some of the stress during those hours.
