Trait deep dive
Execution
Your bias to close, ship, and finish.
What this trait actually measures
Execution is the muscle that takes plans across the line. High scorers feel discomfort until something is shipped. Low scorers can sit happily in a half-finished state — which is fine if a strong executor is downstream.
What the score band tells you
High
Unshipped work itches. You'd rather close than perfect.
Mid
You close when the stakes are clear.
Low
You're a generator, not a closer — partner with someone who finishes.
