Product Information

Understanding each other’s strengths also improves communication within the team. Members can use their strengths to communicate in a way that is most effective for them. For example, an influencer may prefer face-to-face interaction, while a strategist may communicate through written reports or presentations. With CliftonStrengths, team members learn how to communicate in a way that resonates with each other best.

Leading crucial teams or significant projects brings out your best. Your greatest motivation may come when the stakes are at their highest. Let others know that when the game is on the line, you want the ball. Responsible individuals like to know they have “delivered” on their commitments, so create metrics and goals to gauge how effectively you meet your obligations. Also, make sure you have explicit and concrete expectations so that there is no question regarding quality outcomes and so that you can hit the mark as promised.To further illustrate this, this is what I missed in the book (other than the only one test allowed): Gallup e-books are formatted as EPUB and MOBI files and can be read on most computers, tablets, e-readers and mobile devices. EPUB files are the most popular open book format and are compatible with many devices. MOBI files are compatible with Kindle devices and applications only. Working with a like-minded, responsible colleague is satisfying for you. Be sure to clarify expectations and boundaries so that each person can feel ownership for his or her particular tasks without stepping on each other’s toes. The test I thought had some pretty loaded questions and I don't think they were that well considered. eg Do I spend lot of time alone. Not whether I liked to do that but do I?

List the performance scores that help you know where you stand every day. What scores should you pay attention to (KPIs, SMART Goals)? At work, take advantage of programs that subsidize your learning. Your organization may be willing to pay for part or all of your instructional coursework or for certifications. Ask your manager for information about scholarships and other educational opportunities.The developers of the test assumes that those taking the test have complete and truthful knowledge of themselves. Several times during the test, I did wonder whether my responses were really accurate. Were they really a true reflection of me?
