The Yielder
The side of us that endures the hard things in life instead of resisting them — solidarity before self-advancement.
Engaging, galvanising
Passive, victim-stance
Leaving others behind by being too successful.
Yielders bond through shared struggle and will choose solidarity with their group over opportunities for their own advancement — to the point of becoming passive and unmotivated, as if resigned to fate.
Yielders are open, engaging team players. Not naturally drawn to leadership, they can nonetheless galvanise a team into determined action against a common difficulty. But a fear of leaving others behind caps their motivation — they can seem passive, victim-like, a negative under-achiever.
How the Yielder shifts
A neutral baseline; the strength it becomes when the gift is honoured; the weakness it falls into when the fear beneath it takes over.
The everyday flavour this type gives a personality.
What this type provides when the gift is used consciously.
What takes over when the hidden fear is running the show.
The other faces of the Lover
Our capacity to share our vulnerability, to feel and express our emotions, to be playful, creative and spontaneous — fully in the flow of life. The desire to make connections and receive the reward of deeper relatedness. Rooted in the archetypal energy of the Lover.
An assessment can show you how strongly the Yielder — and the other eleven types — pattern your life or your team.
