About Strengths
Why Strengths
Understanding strengths will awaken the potential that lies within your business. With roots in positive psychology, strength-based management encourages organizations to achieve success by leveraging unique differentiators.
The incorporation of Strengths in leadership and team development takes a strategic approach to arranging, aligning, and partnering talents to highlight synergies and excellence within teams.
A New Way of Thinking
Using a strengths-based approach is different than what we have all experienced in our growth. Conventional methods to improve tell us to focus on fixing weaknesses and, essentially, to be being good at everything. This simply is not possible. In fact, we end up spending double our time correcting areas of weakness in order to achieve overall mediocrity.
Strengths-based approaches to personal and professional development identify areas of strength and encourage us to invest in those areas to build expertise in them.
Why is it important to know our strengths? Once we know and understand our talents, we can shape our lives around them, welcoming in success and happiness.
What about our weaknesses? We do not have weaknesses, rather talents that we are less-dominant in. It’s important to acknowledge where these gaps are - not so we work on them, rather so we can identify people who excel in them to create strategic, strengths-based partnerships.
Gallup CliftonStrengths Overview
Your strengths profile is unique to who you are. In fact, your chances of meeting someone with the same Top 5 in the same order is 1 in 33.4 MILLION!
The Gallup strengths assessment tests for 34 specific talents. Your results will number these strengths 1-34 based on their intensity, with the strongest talent at number one. The power of each talent is based on your personal journey and investment in them.
While we may experience subtle shifts in our strengths throughout our lives and careers, we tend to retain many of the same ones over time.
The 34 talents that are evaluated belong to 4 Strength Domains: Executing, Influencing Relationship Building, and Strategic Thinking.
