2. Strengths-Based Leadership Report
SURVEY COMPLETION DATE: 02-16-2012
Leader: Wes Anderson
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.

Restorative
It’s very likely that you usually are willing to make things better when you are convinced your course
of action is wise, proper, or correct. You tend to be cautious about fixing your own and others’
mistakes. You probably are tentative — that is, hesitant — about doing something bold until someone
says it is a good idea. Because of your strengths, you enjoy listening to public speakers. You are
attracted to those who inspire you to think about what you can do better either personally or

3. professionally. Instinctively, you occasionally attempt to overcome your limitations or shortcomings.
Maybe you gain basic skills so you can do certain things without having to ask for help. Chances are
good that you typically are an eager and willing student. You genuinely derive satisfaction from
examining new sources of information. You often arrive at conclusions about how to make certain
things better. Driven by your talents, you gather candid feedback from trustworthy individuals to
heighten your awareness of areas you need to upgrade. Their frank comments fuel your desire to
continually correct things.
Consistency
It’s very likely that you strive to be evenhanded and impartial in your moment-by-moment dealings
with people. This explains why you create various policies, processes, or rules to govern how
repetitive tasks are to be performed. By following these patterns of behavior, individuals, as well as
groups, tend to do things consistently. Often your standard operating procedures help prevent notions
that you deal with some people less harshly than others or give them more opportunities. Instinctively,
you are methodical about preparing for events where your strengths are going to be tested against
those of others. You are apt to establish a practice schedule and follow it faithfully. Day after day, you
build your knowledge, skills, or endurance. You have the stick-to-itiveness — that is, the dogged
perseverance — to do everything you planned to win top honors. Your training is likely to be more
rigorous than that of others. Driven by your talents, you like creating familiar patterns of behavior. This
is especially true when you must deal with recurring tasks. The more you use these processes, the
more efficient you become. Seeking precision and exactness, you are inclined to review results
numerous times to be sure everything is in its correct place. This is how you eliminate confusion so
others know they are being dealt with in a just and equitable manner. Because of your strengths, you
exert physical effort and/or expend mental energy to attain your goals. Finishing all your assignments
by the end of the day exhilarates you. You are determined to carry your share of the workload as long
as the tasks are evenly distributed among people. When you can control the quality and the quantity
of your outcomes, you usually thrive. You admit you perform better, faster, and more efficiently when
you are free to work on your own. By nature, you thrive in settings where you can accomplish things.
Of course, you have your own step-by-step way of performing repetitious tasks. As long as you can
stick to your preferred plan of action, you usually enjoy handling the details and deadlines related to
jobs, chores, projects, hobbies, assignments, or errands.
Harmony
Instinctively, you frequently count on specialists to help you arrive at the correct solution, decision, or
conclusion. Whenever you choose to work alone on an assignment, you still turn to people with
expertise for direction. By nature, you generally put forth extra effort to be the best or to finish first.
You certainly concentrate on using your skills, knowledge, talents, and physical traits. You also rely on
people with special expertise. Their suggestions probably give you a distinct advantage over your
opponents. Driven by your talents, you rely on the expertise of others to identify proper solutions,
decisions, or maneuvers. You feel much more sure of yourself when a specialist approves your plan
before you start something. You often want one of them to say, “You have made the best possible
choice.” You probably trust them to be more knowledgeable than you are in various situations.
Because of your strengths, you occasionally infuse a spirit of friendliness into your work or study
groups. Your personal warmth and congenial disposition may cause others to be a bit kinder or more
generous. Some people find it is easier to collaborate with their teammates or classmates if you are

4. involved. In your absence, however, they might notice a difference in people’s willingness to
cooperate. It’s very likely that you turn to experienced individuals to help you pinpoint areas where
you need to do something better. You probably seek their counsel about personal or professional
matters. You often trust that their answers are correct and their solutions are feasible — that is,
doable and suitable.
Input
Because of your strengths, you yearn to increase your knowledge by being kept in the information
loop. This explains why you gravitate to people who converse about ideas at a deeper and more
thoughtful level than most individuals are capable of doing. “Making small talk” — that is, engaging in
idle conversation — probably seems like a waste of time to you. It’s very likely that you have a strong
need to know that you are taking the proper course of action before you begin. Without a doubt, your
hunger for evidence, data, or background information is immense. Whether your sources of
knowledge are people, classes, books, the Internet, or discussions, you are hardwired to be as
informed as you possibly can be prior to starting most ventures. You probably prefer to be overly
prepared rather than risk being poorly prepared. Driven by your talents, you yearn to know a lot. It
makes little sense to you to skim through a book and read only the highlights. You delve more deeply
into intriguing subjects than most people do. You love to gather all kinds of information. This explains
why you take time to grasp ideas that appear in print. By nature, you may have acquired a
sophisticated vocabulary, comprised of technical, subject-specific, or complicated words. If you ever
need to describe the intricate steps of certain procedures, you might rely on this terminology. Perhaps
your attention to detail works to your advantage when you are addressing particular types of experts.
Because you comprehend the meanings of some of their words, you might be able to talk about how
things function in a language they can understand. Instinctively, you gravitate to conversations in
which intelligent, unemotional, and reasonable thoughts are freely exchanged. These give-and-take
sessions inspire you to consider what you need to upgrade, perfect, or raise to excellence.
Intellection
By nature, you sometimes use words, terms, or phrases that force people to stop and think in new
ways. Because of your strengths, you may select unusual words to describe your ideas or feelings.
Perhaps your extensive vocabulary allows you to capture people’s interest. It’s very likely that you
delight in having your very own tasks to perform. You like to solo because it gives you quiet time to
reflect on what you think and feel. You frequently consider what you have done, what you are doing,
and what you can do better in the future. Instinctively, you sometimes enliven or stop conversations
with your thought-provoking statements, unusual viewpoints, jarring questions, pointed demands, or
candid opinions. Sometimes you deftly play the devil’s advocate — that is, take the opposing view.
Once in a while, you force people to think philosophically about the meaning of good, evil, truth,
justice, or happiness. Driven by your talents, you frequently challenge your own thinking. You enjoy
having time to yourself to process ideas and identify areas where you can make things better. Often
you consider upgrading your environment and the people with whom you associate. You are just as
likely to consider things you need to perfect. These may include, but not be limited to, your talents,
personal characteristics, studies, career, productivity, progress, or projects.
