We Love CliftonStrengths
Because it makes talking about yourself so much easier. Even the most experienced professionals struggle to articulate their strengths, their skills, their needs and their contributions.
In our 30 years of combined experience, we have found Gallup's CliftonStrengths™ assessment to be the most practical, personalized, and detailed tool on the market for helping client’s articulate their unique talents (and trust me, we have reviewed a lot).
It empowers people with the language to communicate their greatest strengths to others and more importantly provides teams with a common language to gain a greater appreciation of each other and their collective talents.
Based on a foundation of positive psychology, Gallup's CliftonStrengths™ assessment uses simple, straightforward language to help individuals understand and articulate their “natural patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving” (Gallup).
Building on this assessment, Gallup recently launched its CliftonStrengths for Managers report -- a tactical tool designed for managers, leaders or influencers. The report directly addresses those questions leaders most often ask: What makes me a great leader?, What are my blindspots my team may not be willing to share with me?, and What are concrete action steps I can take to become an effective and impactful leader?
Specifically focused on performance in the workplace, over 30 million people globally have taken the assessment in more than 25 languages, a testament to the instrument's applicability across diverse populations. Unlike many free assessments on the market today, CliftonStrengths has been repeatedly subject to rigorous psychometric analysis and has been affirmed as both reliable and valid.
CliftonStrengths stands out with customized in-depth reports, allowing individuals to recognize how their talents make them unique and contribute to greater success in the workplace. Gallup has curated a wide range of free articles, videos, and other resources to help individuals explore and apply their talents more fully.
The benefits of CliftonStrengths extends beyond the individual:
For individuals, it provides language to clearly articulate value.
For managers, it provides a toolbox for engaging employees.
For teams, it provides a common language for greater understanding and respect.
For organizations, it provides key insights to help you strengthen and maintain healthy company culture.
