Three profiles.
One dominant mode.
Work Style DNA maps how a person executes. Not personality. Not values. The operational pattern that surfaces when there's work to be done.
Every person has a dominant style — one that feels natural and energizing — and usually a secondary they can lean into. The third is your friction zone: the mode that drains you.

Energy and Friction
The secret isn't working harder — it's working in alignment with how you're wired. When you're in your natural style, work feels like momentum.
