Gallup found that it serves a team well to have a representation of strengths in each of the four domains of leadership strength: Executing, Influencing, Relationship Building, and Strategic Thinking. Instead of one dominant leader who tries to do everything or individuals who all have similar strengths, contributions from all four domains lead to a strong and cohesive team. This doesn't mean that each person on a team must have strengths exclusively in a single category. In most cases, each team member will possess some strength in multiple domains.

According to our latest research, the 34 Clifton StrengthsFinder themes naturally cluster into these four domains of leadership strength. See below for how your top five themes sort into the four domains. As you think about how you can contribute to a team and who you need to surround yourself with, this may be a good starting point.

Depending on the order of your themes and how you responded to the assessment, some of your themes may share identical insight statements. If this occurs, the lower ranked theme will not display insight statements to avoid duplication on your report.

CONSISTENCY

By nature, you work industriously to finish all your daily assignments. You derive a great deal of satisfaction from reaching goals others have set for you.

Because of your strengths, you help keep the peace on your team by doing your share of each day’s assignments. You generally perform your tasks so no one in the group has to do chores you overlooked, ignored, or forgot. Driven by your talents, you deal with people the same way no matter how different they happen to be in terms of their positions, age, education, talents, skills, knowledge, or production. You contend it is unjust to give one individual special treatment while denying the same favor to everyone else.

BELIEF

Once in a while, you go on a quest to enhance your skills, polish your style, revamp your appearance, or expand your knowledge. It’s very likely that you occasionally sense you are part of something bigger or more important than yourself. Maybe this conviction influences choices you make in life.
