4M Model
The R2 Strengths Profiler measures 60 attributes across the three dimensions of performance,
energy and use. Your responses are classified into one of the four quadrants of the R2 Strengths
Profiler 4M Model.
The 4M Model below shows each of the four quadrants, together with advice about what to do with
the attributes in that quadrant. This is a dynamic model, helping you to see exactly where you are
now, and where you want to be in the future.
Use the 4M Model to help you identify what you need to do for your performance, growth and
development.

Unrealised strengths are the things you find
energising and perform well, but don’t use
so often.
Maximise for development, career
advancement, and to reach your goals.
Weaknesses are the things you find it hard
to do well and find draining.
Minimise to make them irrelevant by
knowing what to work on, what to avoid,
and what to pass on to others!
Realised strengths are the things you find
energising, perform well, and use often.
Marshal them for outstanding performance
by dialling them up and down, depending
on your situation.
Learned behaviours are the things you
have learned to do well, but that don’t
energise you.
Moderate to prevent burnout by using them
less and working from your strengths more.

Strengths Families
The Strengths Families are conceptual groupings of strengths that share related characteristics.
They are designed to provide a useful framework for looking at the patterns of strengths in your
Profile. See below for the strengths that are included in each of the five Strengths Families.

Your highest Strengths Family across the
60 strengths falls within ThinkingThinkingThinkingThinking
Are you energised by big picture thinking or do you enjoy the
detail? Where relevant, pay attention to when you need to
expand your vision or move into action.
With your enthusiasm for the practical, who can you partner
with, to ensure you have considered the impact on others of
the decisions that you make?
The most common weaknesses fall in this family. Notice where
others lack skills or motivation, whether organisational or
creative, and lend a hand.
You may not always notice others’ needs, with your preference
to focus on the ‘how’ of things. Consider the strengths you
have in the Relating family to help balance this.
Your lowest Strengths Family across the
60 strengths falls within RelatingRelatingRelatingRelating
How would you describe your relationships with others? It may
just mean your energy is more at the surface level, rather than
in deeper relationships, or vice versa.
Consider when it might be appropriate to work with someone
who enjoys relationships more than you do. This could be
across projects, in meetings, or when someone is suffering.
What strengths can you use to soften your approach, or to
build rapport with others? Explore the strengths you do have,
that you could lean on to enhance your relationships.
You might only need to enjoy one or two Relating strengths to
be good enough. Concentrate on making the most of the
strengths you do have in this family.

behaviours, and up to 3 weaknesses. If you have any less than this, it’s because your responses

Realised Strengths
1 Persistence
You pride yourself on being able to keep going in the face of
difficult challenges and frustrations.
You understand that success in the face of adversity requires
extra effort and determination.
You never give up! Ever.
Marshal When faced with challenges, what do you tell yourself
or connect with to keep going? Share your approaches with
others to encourage them. And remember, sometimes it may be
healthy to concede defeat and learn from failure.
2 Gratitude
You are constantly aware of how fortunate you are and the
positive things that you have in your life.
You naturally notice and appreciate the good things that happen
to you.
You take nothing and nobody for granted.
Marshal Find different ways to be grateful. Write a journal, text a
friend, email your manager, write a blog or sing a song. Varying
your gratitude will help to keep you from appearing inauthentic.
3 Improver
You love looking for ways to do things better.
You prefer not to accept the way things are usually done, as you
love to see how you can make things more effective.
You find that you do this very naturally – and a lot of the time!
Marshal Don’t feel that you have to improve everything all the
time, as it may interfere with your ability to do your day job.
Focus your attention on the things that really need improving,
rather than just tweaking things for the sake of it.
4 Time Optimiser
Time is very precious to you. You never waste it, squeezing as
much as you can into every minute.
You organise yourself so that you always use your time
productively.
Whatever situation you are in, you can be sure that you are
making the most of your time.
Marshal When was the last time you truly enjoyed and
appreciated the moment you are in? Ensure you allow time to
ponder and rest from your busy life.
5 Competitive
You are highly motivated by competing against others. For you,
winning is the only option.
You gauge your progress and success through measuring your
abilities in comparison to others.
You feel great when you are first, but you take it hard when you
lose. For you, losing hurts.
Marshal Support others to up their game too and notice the
competition. Be mindful of those around you who are less
competitive.
6 Unconditionality
You have an immense capacity genuinely to accept and respect
people for who they are, without ever judging them.
You believe that everyone is valuable in their own right.
No matter what people may have done, or who they may be, you
accept everyone the same.
Marshal You are likely to be in high demand. Make sure you
have time for yourself at some point, and that others don’t take
advantage of your accepting nature.
7 Strategic Awareness
You have a keen interest in understanding changes in the wider
world that could impact on your plans and objectives.
As a big picture thinker, you are able to develop and shift your
long term plans effectively.
You enjoy taking steps to deal with whatever situations and
circumstances may arise in the future.
Marshal Ensure your thinking leads to action as well as
understanding! Link it to current projects and goals that have
clear end outcomes that you can focus on.
8 Legacy
You care deeply about future generations and seek to leave a
legacy through everything you do.
You enjoy working on things that make a difference.
You love to make a positive contribution and create things that
will outlast you.
Marshal Remember to switch off sometimes and allow yourself
to do things just because you like doing them. Relax and have
some fun!

Full 60 Feedback
Realised Strengths
9 Prevention
You love to think ahead and anticipate problems before they
happen.
You notice the little things that might be out of place or going
wrong, and then deal with them.
Your actions prevent these future problems, making sure they
can’t arise in the first place.
Marshal Ensure that you share any key learning from your
experiences, so that others can benefit. Also, remember
sometimes to take a pause and to enjoy the moment you are in.
10 Change Agent
You love to be involved with and bring about change, identifying
the real benefits of the changes you make.
You relish opportunities to implement change and become an
advocate for new developments.
Your enthusiasm for change enthuses others in turn, who
otherwise would have been more reluctant about the change.
Marshal To ensure the success of new developments,
understand the full impact on others in advance and how they
might react. Ensure you don’t embark on change for the sake of
change.
11 Humility
You are a humble person, never allowing yourself to be big-
headed or boastful.
You prefer to give other people credit for your successes, rather
than taking the credit yourself.
You recognise the role that others have played in your success.
Marshal Crediting others for your successes too often can take
the attention away from your own successes. Learn to balance
your Humility with speaking about your own achievements.
12 Innovation
You are highly driven to want to invent things that are better than
what has been done before.
You look at things from a different perspective to others and
think ’out of the box’.
You look beyond what exists when coming up with new ideas,
inventions and approaches.
Marshal You may not know how to implement your ideas, but it
doesn’t mean you shouldn’t share your thoughts. Think about
how your ideas will really add value and how you can contribute.
13 Resolver
You love solving problems. The more complicated the problem,
the better.
You will always go the extra mile to find a solution, getting to the
root of the problem.
You’re never beaten by a problem, but the problems are often
beaten by you.
Marshal Remember to spot when a problem can’t be resolved
and giving up is the best option. You can also ask for help too!
14 Judgement
You make good decisions both quickly and easily.
You enjoy assessing the situation, evidence and facts, being
confident that you will reach the right decision.
Your decisions stand up to robust challenge, and you typically
turn out to be right.
Marshal Use your strength wisely and volunteer to act as a
sounding board for others who might not have this strength. Be a
role model for new starters or act as a mentor, showing others
how you approach the decisions you make.
15 Action
You feel compelled to act immediately and decisively.
You are much more comfortable with forward momentum than
you are with careful strategy and reflection.
Getting started is the only way for you. You will learn as you go
along and if it doesn’t work, then at least you tried.
Marshal Be careful not to crash or take others down the wrong
path. Try to pause before important decisions or ask others for
their input.
16 Optimism
You always see the best side of any situation and look on the
bright side of life.
You have a consistent and firm belief that things will work out
well in the future.
Your belief keeps you strong and enables you to stay positive,
even when things become difficult.
Marshal When problems arise, it is great to remain optimistic.
Remember, however, to think about the actions you need to take
to deal with the problems as well. They won’t usually solve
themselves!

Realised Strengths
17 Drive
You are extremely self-motivated, with an inner drive that
pushes you on to achieve more.
As soon as you complete one task, you don’t wait to be told
what to do, you move on to the next.
You love to set stretching goals and targets for yourself.
Marshal A stretch target for you could be to relax a little! When
your Drive is high, it is critical that you are clear about what you
want to achieve. Otherwise, you could be driving around in
circles.
18 Counterpoint
You love to bring an alternative perspective to any situation.
You see things differently from others, and can present a range
of alternatives for any scenario.
You enjoying bringing things into the discussion that other
people have missed.

your message and what forum might be most appropriate to do
so.

further.
You actively seek out activities, skills, knowledge, or new ways
of working that will help you grow.

positive and negative comments.

yourself and how you have developed!

You are acutely aware of the difference between right and
wrong.
You always act in accordance with what you believe is right.
Your decisions and your actions are always guided by your
ethics and values.

than you in certain situations and you may need to compromise.
Volunteer to become a sounding board for others in ethical
matters.
21 Explainer
You take complex ideas and express them simply and clearly.
You love to simplify things, ensuring that a wide range of people
can easily understand the content.
You enjoy coming up with different ways of explaining the same
thing to help people understand.
Marshal Read your audience. Not everyone needs the same
level of explanation, so you may need a few ways to deliver your
content to avoid patronizing people.
22 Esteem Builder
Your words and actions help people to build their self-confidence
and self-esteem.
You clearly see the potential and possibility in people, helping
people to recognise it for themselves.
You love to help others to believe in themselves, helping them to
achieve what they are capable of achieving.
Marshal Praising others too often can be perceived as
inauthentic. Practice doing it at the right time, in the right way,
and also don’t forget to offer others development feedback.
23 Scribe
You enjoy writing, finding a deep fulfilment in writing things for
others to read.
You have a natural ability to communicate through writing.
The act of writing helps you to clarify your thoughts, so you write
clearly and easily.
Marshal You are likely to get pleasure from all types of writing –
even emails! Balance this with execution too, as well as making
sure you are word for word perfect and polished in what you
write.
24 Adventure
You relish the risk of the untried and look forward to experiences
outside of your comfort zone.
New and challenging scenarios provide ways for you to
understand what you can and can’t do.

you.

comfort zone, challenging those who are more risk averse to try
something new.

Realised Strengths
25 Planful
You have a natural ability to plan and prepare, taking a
systematic approach to everything you do.
Before starting things you get organised, establish time frames,
assess and allocate resources.
It’s essential for you to have a plan, including one for the
unexpected.
Marshal Don’t plan your life away. Ensure you have left enough
unplanned space in your diary to say yes to the spontaneous
offers that arise. You will also need to be prepared to flex from
time to time.
26 Incubator
You love to think, to ponder and to reflect throughout your day,
every day.
You enjoy taking moments out of your day to give yourself
dedicated thinking time.
You don’t like to be rushed, allowing you the time and space to
come up with ideas and questions.

risk that it may be perceived as a lack of commitment or action.
Appreciate you may on occasion have to make faster decisions.
27 Mission
You derive great fulfilment from doing things that give your life
meaning and purpose.
You could be focused on one or many different things that
provide purpose.
How you spend your time, your decisions and your future plans
are all aligned to your sense of mission and purpose in life.
Marshal Meaning doesn’t always have to be long term or earth-
shattering. What are the small things in life to which you can
attribute meaning and purpose? Practice mindfulness to connect
to something bigger.
28 Spotlight
Whether in a meeting or in a social gathering, you naturally
speak up and hold the floor.
You love capturing people’s interest and attention, and find this
easy to do.
You find that you can get people to listen to you and focus on
what you’re saying or doing, whatever the distractions.

achieve an outcome. That way you can rest it when it isn’t
required, giving others a chance to shine as well.
29 Reconfiguration
You love re-arranging resources and adapting plans to meet the
changing demands of new situations.
You sense when to stay on track and when to change to
become more effective.
Your adaptability means that you are always looking for the best
possible fit for when the context changes.
Marshal Try and achieve a mix between being static and
dynamic in the areas of your life. If work is requiring your
immense flexibility, you might try a calmer home life.
30 Curiosity
You are interested in everything and love to ask questions and
undertake follow-up reading.
You are very open to new ideas, seeking out new information
every day.
You get excited when you discover new topics to study.
Marshal Focus your keen interest towards your goals as a
priority, only moving on when these have been successful.
Otherwise, you risk finding that you are all questions and no
action.
31 Order
You love to be well-organised. Everything has its place, both in
your work and your personal life.
Your organisation means that you are able to be as effective as
possible in everything you do.
You always know where things are and what to do when -
because you have organised everything in advance.
Marshal How do you fare with unexpected changes or
spontaneity? Sometimes it is good to just sit back and enjoy
surprises, taking a less structured approach.

feedback.

understanding your behavior, emotions, and responses to
different situations.

common, and you make links between them.

and easily.

You know that it can be beneficial to really get to know
someone, and for them to really know you.

Stop using it Find a complementary partner
Re-focus your role Adopt strengths-based team working

using it?
What would the impact be to you and others if you stopped
using it?

you rely on them again?

that drain you.

to get the work done between you.
Be clear about what you want to achieve, both now and in the
future.
Reflect on which strengths will be most effective in helping you
achieve these goals.

frequently?

tasks with others?

Putting the 4M Model into Action
Tell others about your weaknesses when relevant. No-one is
good at everything.
Sharing weaknesses creates more open relationships, allowing
others to offer their strengths.
Which of your unrealised strengths are you most passionate
about using?
Which will make the most difference to you in achieving your
goals?
Swap strengths with someone who has a strength where you
have a weakness.
Compensate for something that drains them, by using one of
your strengths to get the job done.
Improve your use of the strength even more, with formal
learning and development as required.
Who has this strength and uses it successfully? What can you
learn from them?
Re-organise what you do, to use the weakness less or not at
all.
Delegate to others, or re-arrange the way that work gets done.
Which strengths will help you get things done or fill a gap at
work?

that require something different.
Re-allocate how things are done using a ‘team strengths’
approach.

people’s strengths, not just their role.
As you develop, take on bigger or more complex activities and
tasks.
Try out the strength in new situations and environments.

weakness.
Focus on the outcome, rather than the process. See which
strengths will get you there instead.
If you haven’t used this strength much before, you might need
to practise it.
Watch out for when you learn things quickly and easily, a true
sign of a strength and potential for growth.
If you have to, learn to perform the weakness to a level of
competence, minimising the impact.
Focus on being good enough, so that the weakness doesn’t
undermine your performance.
As you maximise an unrealised strength, evaluate how you get
on. Ask for feedback.
Did you get the results you expected? What have you learned?
What can you improve?
Be honest Find a complementary partner
Re-shape the role Be a strengths-based team
