See How People Think And How They Perform Best
DISCOVER Talents reveals the thinking patterns behind performance.
So consulting teams and enterprise HR can develop people faster, build stronger teams, and make better decisions — with evidence, not assumptions.
Why DISCOVER Talents Matter
Your unique talents shape how you learn, decide, lead and collaborate — especially under pressure.
Deep Self-Awareness
Reveal how people think, decide, and relate — as the intrinsic foundation for learning and growth.
Smarter Development Decisions
Align individual talents with motivators and roles to accelerate growth, reduce misfit, and support retention.
Team and Organisational Impact
Build balanced teams with complementary thinking styles to optimise performance and results.
What is DISCOVER Talents?
What is DISCOVER Talents?
Understanding talents starts with understanding thinking.
DISCOVER Talents makes thinking visible. It shows how someone interprets situations, solves problems, evaluates themselves, and learns over time.
It looks at thinking through two lenses:
- External thinking: how people perceive and solve problems
- Internal thinking: how people evaluate themselves, roles and potential
Together, these patterns form a personal thinking signature.
They explain why some tasks feel effortless while others drain energy, why people lead confidently in some settings but hesitate in others, and how people learn and grow best.
The 4 Dimensions of Talents
The 4 Dimensions of Talents
DISCOVER Talents maps strengths across 4 dimensions:
- Content – Systematic Problem Solving
How people analyse, reason, and decide.
Outcome: sharper judgement and better decisions under pressure. - Process – Goal and Result Orientation
How people plan, organise, and execute.
Outcome: clearer priorities, stronger accountability, better delivery.
- Relationships – Effective People Interactions
How people connect, influence, and collaborate.
Outcome: more trust, smoother teamwork, better feedback conversations.
- Self – Knowing and Managing Oneself
How people build self-awareness and adapt.
Outcome: higher resilience, better energy management, stronger growth mindset.
This forms the Collaborative Professional profile: versatile, adaptable and ready to excel in complex environments.
Leadership and Management Styles
Leadership and Management Styles
DISCOVER Talents highlights how thinking patterns translate into leadership behaviour — and where leaders should stretch to become more flexible.
- The Efficient Manager
Focus: planning, organising, executing through others
Strength: structure, clarity, accountability - The People-Oriented Director
Focus: developing others, engagement, communication
Strength: trust, coaching, motivation
- The Balanced Executive
Focus: strategic perspective, long-term direction
Strength: sustainable performance, alignment, decision quality
Working with these three leadership styles gives leaders a powerful lens for self-development — showing where to build flexibility, when to delegate, and how to adapt leadership to the team’s needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Talents are natural abilities — how someone tends to interpret situations and solve problems.
- Skills are learned abilities — what someone can do through training and practice.
- Capability is the combination of talents, skills, experience, and context — whether someone can consistently deliver in a specific role or environment.
DISCOVER Talents helps you understand the foundation (talents), so skill-building and capability development become faster and more targeted.
Talents works well on its own, but impact increases when you combine it with the other DISCOVER insights: DISCOVER Motivators (what drives people) and DISCOVER Behaviour (how they communicate and collaborate). Together, they create a complete picture and make it easier to design interventions that people accept and apply — from development plans to team workshops and organisational change programmes.
DISCOVER Talents are designed to be applied immediately in real workflows — leadership development, team alignment, performance improvement, and career development. Within Renkai, Talents insights are combined with context (roles, goals, environment, team setup) to support end-to-end workflows — from diagnosis to recommendations, solution design, and delivery tools like visuals, workshops, and reports.
First, build practical expertise in DISCOVER Behaviour and DISCOVER Motivators through our two-day certification training.
Next, deepen that knowledge with DISCOVER Talents — a separate two-day certification that brings all DISCOVER insights together. During this training, you will learn how to quickly turn insights into actions, with your complimentary access to Renkai.
