Game-Changing Self-Awareness with the DRiV™

Recent statistics suggest that more than 85 percent of people worldwide are disengaged from their jobs, and yet we spend almost half of our waking hours at work. Many of us start out feeling like we have made good choices for our careers, but over time, our energy flags. We want success. We want to achieve. But what keeps us from engaging wholeheartedly? What can we do to optimize our happiness, effectiveness, and influence in our careers?

“We spend way too much of our adult lives at work to not optimize it. Bringing less than our full, authentic selves is not just shortchanging employers. We’re stealing our own joy and potential,” says co-author Chris W. Coultas, PhD. “We developed the DRiV – and wrote this book – to provide people with deep, actionable insights to help them get the most out of their careers.”

From Leadership Worth Following – makers of the revolutionary personality assessment the DRiV – Driven Not Drained offers a path to greater career fulfillment. It describes 28 qualities that motivate behavior — both what drives you and what drains you. Driven Not Drained describes these driving forces in depth, offering incisive action items targeted for each driver so you can create more job satisfaction and improve your performance. You will also discover several tips for working with and leading people through the lens of their own drivers and drainers.

Based on extensive, in-depth research, Driven Not Drained offers powerful tools for enhancing your self-awareness and capacity to work with and lead others. For leaders who want not only to stay engaged but to thrive – and to help their people do the same – Driven Not Drained is an invaluable development tool.

LWF staff facilitated a DRiV workshop with our R&D Team that far exceeded our expectations. What started as a team-building activity to better understand what “drives” and “drains” each team member ended up offering significantly higher value. We came away with a great understanding of who we are as a diverse team of leaders. The DRiV workshop also helped us bond on a unique level, defining our common principles and strengths. In the end, we gained practical insights to improve our performance and a better understanding of each other’s personalities. This will help us thrive and excel together – and cope together too.

There are many tools available to leaders to gain insight about their motives and values, but in my experience, the DRiV offers one of the most comprehensive and in-depth pictures of what energizes and directs a leader, along with the factors that can lead to stress and burnout

Chris helped me realize that I needed to overhaul my approach to delegation. After just one coaching chat, I was able to completely change how I delegated and coached my team. I was able to be more helpful to my team, while also decreasing my stress and increasing my effectiveness. This one tweak to my leadership approach really helped kickstart a new phase of growth in my career
