A fresh look at Gallup’s strengthsfinder themes

While Gallup has written definitions and action steps for each of its 34 themes, they do not always illustrate the point effectively. I have taken a stab at giving a more detailed explanation you can find here. The folks at Leadership Vision Consulting have done a wonderful job adding illumination through inclusion of real life examples culled from thousands of interviews over 16 years working with clients. They also focus on the generative aspect of the strength–ie how you can use this theme to make things happen. Check out yours:

achiever | activator | adaptability | analytical | arranger | belief | command |communication | competition | connectedness | consistency | context | deliberative |developer | discipline | empathy | focus | futuristic | harmony | ideation | includer | individualization | input | intellection | learner | maximizer | positivity | relator | responsibility | restorative | self-assurance | significance | strategic | woo

They also offer up a podcast that focuses specific episodes on the use of strengths.
