Strengths Finder 2.0 Results

Strengths Finder 2.0 revealed my top five strengths are Achiever, Competition, Futuristic, Ideation, and Individualization.  According to author and researcher Tom Rath, these strengths are defined as: ​

Achiever® People strong in the Achiever theme have a great deal of stamina and work hard. They take great satisfaction from being busy and productive.

Competition® People strong in the Competition theme measure their progress against the performance of others. They strive to win first place and revel in contests.

Futuristic® People strong in the Futuristic theme are inspired by the future and what could be. They inspire others with their visions of the future.

Ideation® People strong in the Ideation theme are fascinated by ideas. They are able to find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena.

​Individualization® People strong in the Individualization theme are intrigued with the unique qualities of each person. They have a gift for figuring out how people who are different can work together productively.

​Woo® People who are especially talented in the Woo theme love the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over. They derive satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection with another person.

​
Strategic® People who are especially talented in the Strategic theme create alternative ways to proceed.  Faced with any given scenario, they can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues.

Strengths Based Leadership Theme Results

Further results reveal that the breadth of my leadership character is broadly and evenly distributed across each of the four major themes and indicative of a highly effective, multifaceted leader. However, I possess slightly more emphasis on the leadership theme of Strategic Thinking.  The outcomes of Strengths Finder 2.0 (shown above) are directly linked with the strength based leadership themes below.  As an Achiever, I am strong tied to the Executing theme. Through Competition and Woo, I am linked to the Influencing theme and Individualization places me within the Relationship Building theme. Futuristic, Strategic, and Ideation together contribute to a very strong theme related to Strategic Thinking.  

The following is an explanation by researchers Rath and Conchie (2008) of each of the Strengths Based Leadership Themes from Strengths Test. 

In Strengths Based Leadership, authors Tom Rath and Barry Conchie discovered in their research that there are four domains of leadership strength -- executing, influencing, relationship building, and strategic thinking -- and all are critical to the overall effective functioning of a leadership group. 

Executing
Team members who have a dominant strength in the Executing domain are those whom you turn to time and again to implement a solution. These are the people who will work tirelessly to get something done. People who are strong in the Executing domain have an ability to take an idea and transform it into reality within the organization they lead.

Influencing
People who are innately good at influencing are always selling the team's ideas inside and outside the organization. When you need someone to take charge, speak up, and make sure your group is heard, look to someone with the strength to influence.

Relationship Building
Relationship builders are the glue that holds a team together. Strengths associated with bringing people together -- whether it is by keeping distractions at bay or keeping the collective energy high -- transform a group of individuals into a team capable of carrying out complex projects and goals.

Strategic Thinking
Those who are able to keep people focused on "what they could" be are constantly pulling a team and its members into the future. They continually absorb and analyze information and help the team make better decisions.
