How Does Gallup Define A Strength?

Power of Strengths

According to Gallup, building employees' strengths is a far more effective approach to improving performance than trying to improve weaknesses. When employees know and use their strengths, they are more engaged, perform better and are less likely to leave their company.


Those who do have the opportunity to focus on their strengths every day are:

▪ 6x as likely to be engaged in their job

▪ 3x as likely to report having an excellent quality of life


Four Domains of Strengths

Source: https://www.strengthstest.com/strengthsfinder-leadership-themes


Executing

Those with dominant themes in the executing domain know how to make things happen. When the team needs someone to implement a solution, these are the people who will work tirelessly to get it done. Those with a strength to execute have the ability to “catch” an idea and make it a reality:

Achiever Arranger

Belief Consistency Deliberative Discipline

Focus Responsibility

Restorative


Influencing

Those with dominant themes in the influencing domain help their team reach a much broader audience. These individuals can sell the team’s ideas inside and outside the organization. When the team needs someone to take charge, speak up, and make sure the group is heard, look to someone with the strength to influence:

Activator Command

Communication Competition Maximizer

Self-Assurance Significance

Woo


Relationship Building

Those with dominant themes in the relationship building domain can provide the essential glue to hold a team together. Without these strengths on a team, in many cases, the group is simply a composite of individuals. In contrast, team members with exceptional relationship building strength have the unique ability to help the group become much greater than the sum of its parts:

Adaptability Connectedness

Developer Empathy Harmony Includer

Individualization Positivity

Relator


Strategic Thinking

Those with dominant strategic thinking themes are the ones who keep the team focused on what could be. They are constantly absorbing and analyzing information and helping the team make better decisions. People with strength in this domain continually stretch the team’s thinking for the future:

Analytical Context

Futuristic Ideation

Input Intellection

Learner Strategic
