Strength Finder


We're using a great tool here at Compass that helps you unpack where your strengths are. I'm a fan of the movement that encourages people to focus on their giftedness instead of trying to spend a lot of time shoring up their weaknessess.
This was developed by the Gallup organization. They identified 34 strength areas from years of research. You buy the book (at any local bookstore or online retailer) and take an online test. The test identifies your top 5 strength areas and then offers some suggestions as to how you can develop these.
We're going to use this to help us understand our team better and assist them in focusing on their core strength areas in conjunction with their job assignment. I enjoy this because it helps you understand not only yourself but others better. Our belief is that this will strengthen our team and enable us to be better performers.
