Famous Figures
Historical and fictional figures mapped to the sixteen values.
Tom Brady
Brady's documented rejection of the metrics that predicted his failure - his late NFL Draft selection - and his systematic construction of a career that exceeded every benchmark available to him, combined with his documented habit of raising his own expectations as soon as he met them, reflect an Achievement orientation.
Explore Achievement →Usain Bolt
Bolt's documented combination of physical gift and technical refinement - his coaches' documentation of his deliberate development of starting technique to compensate for the disadvantage of his height - and his systematic domination of every short-distance record available, reflect an Achievement orientation.
Explore Achievement →Jesse Owens
Owens' four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics - achieved under conditions designed to humiliate him and demonstrate his inferiority - represent an Achievement that operated simultaneously as political act. His performance was a systematic refutation of a state ideology.
