What Is a Strength?
A talent is a naturally recurring pattern of thought, feeling, or behavior that can be productively applied. Talents influence how we:
- Process information
- Interact with others
- Understand and navigate the world
A strength is developed when talent is intentionally refined through:
- Knowledge
- Skills
- Experience
- Practice
The CliftonStrengths® approach focuses on helping individuals build what they naturally do best rather than concentrating primarily on weaknesses.
How CliftonStrengths® Can Support You

- Teaching
- Research
- Service
- Innovation and scholarship within your discipline
Staff
Identify and develop your strengths to:
- Improve performance and engagement

- Feel more supported and fulfilled at work
Leadership
Develop a more authentic leadership style by:
- Understanding the strengths of team members
- Building trust, compassion, stability, and hope

Teams
Strengths-based teams are better equipped to:
- Improve communication and collaboration
- Understand and appreciate individual differences
- Build trust and engagement among team members
- Increase productivity by focusing on what each person naturally does best
- Create a more supportive and effective workplace culture
By understanding one another’s strengths, teams can work more intentionally, reduce friction, and maximize collective success.
Why Â鶹´«Ã½AV Uses CliftonStrengths®
Â鶹´«Ã½AV has chosen Gallup CliftonStrengths® to help employees and students identify and develop their greatest talents.
The assessment helps individuals better understand how they naturally think, feel, and behave — and how those patterns can become powerful strengths when intentionally developed.
Included for Participants
Individuals who complete the full “Introduction to CliftonStrengths®” workshop will receive a personalized CliftonStrengths® desk nameplate featuring their Top 5 themes.
This keeps strengths visible and actionable while also helping colleagues better understand and communicate with one another as team members.
