CORE QUADRANTCORE QUALITIES are the specific strengths that define someone'scharacteristics. They make you to what you are. These competencies are the first positive complements people will give you when you ask about it. For example that you are a very creative, very patient or very decisive person.

These qualities can be a PITFALL if you exaggerate. This will deform your qualities making them a weakness.

Besides core qualities, everyone also has pitfalls. When someone else exaggeratesin a certain quality, this can cause irritation. Your response is called an allergy. Suck an ALLERGY has often to do with a quality of yourself.

What do you need to do to cope with the qualities of others such that it causes no irritation by yourself? This is called the CHALLENGE.

Core quadrant application: an example

Student sends a mail to the teacher:

"... Student sends a mail: "... I would like to react to

our conversation of this morning. I have two

important questions. If I talk to you I feel that you

have a very bad experience with our Department, I

really feel that you have no confidence in our staff

and you have doubts about the commitment of our

nurses or the quality of our care. It would be nice to

clear this out, this doesn't feel good... "

A conversation between teacher and student. The double

quadrant is discussed with the student. ... Student emails the

same evening: “Thank you for the enlightening conversation.

Very nice that you too have shared a part of yourself. That gives

a lot of confidence. It also creates space to continue. And Yes, I'm

going to think about it, not putting too much attention to my

strengths but also show my lesser qualities some more, my

doubts, my insecurities. I'm going to try to offer others some

more space. It is never too late to learn, every day we learn new

things, I have learned a lot again. I'm going to take it into

account as well as in school and at work and at home."
