Let’s look at the values scores of another advisor that is struggling:
- #1 – Traditional = 63
- #2 – Social = 61
- #3 – Utilitarian = 51
- #4 – Theoretical = 39
- #5 – Individualistic = 21
- #6 – Aesthetics = 17
Once again, this financial advisor has a reasonably strong Utilitarian value which makes sense because a financial advisor would likely have a Utilitarian value of capitalism, money, return on investment and time. Again, their all-too-strong Social value is dominating their profitability for the same reasons stated above, but this financial advisor has even bigger challenges as they have a low Individualistic value which demonstrates their low personal power. In addition, the financial advisor’s Traditional value is too high which will result in challenges like:
- Having a one-size-fits-all planning strategy because they need to stay in control
- Their need of control will make it impossible for them to delegate effectively and keep staff
