Your Responsibility theme forces you to take psychological ownership for anything you commit to, and whether large or small, you feel emotionally bound to follow it through to completion. Your good name depends on it. If for some reason you cannot deliver, you automatically start to look for ways to make it up to the other person. Apologies are not enough. Excuses and rationalizations are totally unacceptable. You will not quite be able to live with yourself until you have made restitution. This conscientiousness, this near obsession for doing things right, and your impeccable ethics combine to create your reputation: utterly dependable. When assigning new responsibilities, people will look to you first because they know it will get done. When people come to you for help — and they soon will — you must be selective. Your willingness to volunteer may sometimes lead you to take on more than you should.


There is an emotional aspect to this executing theme. It is about psychological commitment to the promises you make. It is about fulfilling on an external to-do list. Responsibility is not just about what you tell yourself you will do, but what you promise others. Responsibility translates to others not just as an executing strength, but as loyalty and integrity. It is the commitment to doing not only what you say you are going to do, but doing those things well. At its heart, Responsibility is a conscientiousness on delivering what you say you will deliver. Not only is it an obsession for doing things right, but it also is about doing the right thing. Your impeccable ethics combine to create your reputation that is utterly dependable. When others come to you for help you have to be selective. Your willingness to volunteer can sometimes lead you to take on more than you should, or more than you can be excellent at.

The leadership aspect around Responsibility is not just about your priorities, but your team’s priorities. Your Responsibility excels at having your ear to the ground on what your team or organization has promised, and being able to fulfill upon that promise. Responsibility sorts based on what you have already committed to delivering. In its best most mature form, Responsibility doesn’t let you get distracted from what could take away from your promises.

Make sure that you can put words to what leadership promise you are making. Think about the extension of your Responsibility as being not just how you fulfill your commitments, but what you get ahead of. How can you tell people what to expect from you? What is the emotional commitment you want to make to your followers? People high in Responsibility tend to be self-starters. You might not need a lot of external motivation. Because you don’t need people to start you up, it is important to share with others what starts you. If you can name and nurture what motivates you, then you can help others know you better and authentically anticipate when you’re going to execute.

You may prefer to do things on your own rather than delegating, however, managers are finding that it’s not their job to just do it all, but it is their job to lead others to do it all. Find compelling reasons to share the burden of what you’re doing. Openly discuss what your promises look like. Get to know the people on your team, and what motivates them. This way when you’re delegating you’re seeing it as a fulfillment of the value proposition you have put out there for your followers.

Build trust with your Responsibility by acknowledging your followers that do things right. There is a filter in Responsibility for integrity, so when you notice this in other people, share that lens that you have. It could be a behavior in someone that you notice that you wish others had. Call that behavior out and tell people that you notice it. Find a way to appreciate these gifts. You can build stability by not trying to shoulder everything on your own. It is easy for people high in Responsibility to keep saying yes. Find a way to trust others who can also execute with you and spread that responsibility around. That way as they are following you they know there is not too much weight on your shoulders. Compassion can be spread by checking in with those you feel responsible for, and apologizing right away for any mistakes. Finally, hope can be found in Responsibility by invoking ownership rather than delegation. You can do this by asking your followers what they feel most inclined to own. It is not so much about giving others part of your job, but inspiring ownership in those that follow you.

Gallup's Theme Thursday is a live Webcast that targets strengths coaches and enthusiasts to provide a deeper context behind the language of strengths by talking in-depth about each of the 34 Clifton StrengthsFinder themes.

On this Theme Thursday Season Four webcast, Jim Collison, Gallup's Director of Talent Sourcing, and Maika Leibbrandt, Senior Workplace Consultant, talk about Connectedness.

Connectedness is about anticipating and embracing the seen and unseen connection between all things. It is about being in-tuned to something beyond the immediate. There is an aspect of timelessness to this theme. People with Connectedness can be quite curious, but also quite aware. They have no problem accepting mysteries. They have a calm when things don’t make sense. They can move forward through that mystery.



The value that Connectedness brings is a calming emotion about the current moment. It does this by expanding our awareness of something bigger. Connectedness is unrestrained by time and practicality. It is about creativity and offering an enhanced perspective. It is valuable because you can help others see the effects that their actions have. There is an awareness that everything that you do has a ripple effect. It is not just a linear process. Connectedness can be about zooming out and seeing the whole picture.


Do more sharing when you sense others might be missing something. Understand that you are going to see more than others. Gain access to perspectives that might otherwise be isolated. Ask for time that you can spend with other teams and departments. The more you can do to expand your web, the more awareness you are going to have. Be a bridge builder. It isn’t just seeing a person right in front of you, but seeing their whole story.



Let go of the need to have proof in order to believe. You don’t have to have evidence with Connectedness. Let go of having to win through logic. It is more an empathic theme rather than an intellectual theme. Connectedness adds a depth of mystery and feeling where you don’t have to actually come to the answer. It has an almost spiritual embracing of the unknown.



If you have someone with high Connectedness on your team don’t expect them to get very riled and over reactive in the moment. Do expect an enhanced perspective beyond that moment in time. Tap into what they are sensing. They will be able to take clues from what they already know, and what they are noticing now, to help you learn from where you have been in order to go somewhere better. You can be a good partner for Connectedness by helping provide them access to the system. Give them space to do some sensing. Ask them what they’re noticing.



Recognize the ripples they create. Recognize the impact they have on their community. This could mean their team, or it could be their family. It is not necessarily about the singular person, but rather the effect that person has on all of the individuals around them.



You can help Connectedness develop by just asking what it is they’re sensing. Create a space for them to explore, and don’t be afraid to explore with them. Go into those spaces that don’t necessarily look like they have an outcome. Ask them what the connections and effects are of the actions that are currently being taken. Think about using them as an advisor.


If Connectedness is one of your Dominant Themes, invest in it this week through the following challenge items:

Try out an App that quiets your mind.
Spend an hour talking with a trusted friend about what direction your gut is nudging you.
Ask someone to tell you their story.

If Connectedness is not one of your Dominant Themes, invest in it this week through the following challenge items:

How do you find calmness in the middle of chaos?
How do you feel when there isn’t a concrete answer to a challenge?

Gallup's Theme Thursday is a live Webcast that targets strengths coaches and enthusiasts to provide a deeper context behind the language of strengths by talking in-depth about each of the 34 Clifton StrengthsFinder themes.

On this Theme Thursday Season Four webcast, Jim Collison, Gallup's Director of Talent Sourcing, and Maika Leibbrandt, Senior Workplace Consultant, talk about Consistency.

Consistency can be described as fairness, equity and equality. It is the ability to see where things are not equal, and bring them into balance. People with high Consistency are good at setting up clear rules based on what works, and then following them. It is about getting things done not just for efficiency’s sake, but also in a fair way that understands that there are reasons we follow rules.



If you have high Consistency the value you bring is establishing stability through predictability. It is about following rules that make sense, not just creating rules. You really understand what promotes equality, and are able to translate that into something you do all the time. Consistency at its best is going beyond that awareness of when things are unfair and unbalanced, but following through with an internal nudge to take this outside of yourself. You are able to steer your organization and your family towards a more justified approach. Consistency does what works because it works over and over again. Consistency is about giving everyone the same starting point.


Raise your hand for really understanding the rules of the road. What is expected? What do you always do? Be the first person to raise your hand and get some of those assumptions out loud. Improve balance and equality by merging some of those existing norms with some that can be improved. You have the ability to see there could be better rules. Look for opportunities to do an audit of the current rules, and see what could be changed for the better. Stand up for the underdog. Help others see where there is an imbalance.



You could hear Consistency and think about it as values, but the input of Consistency is the patterns of how you think, feel and behave. Fairness is something that nobody ever has to be taught, but what this theme does is notice the fairness in others. Consistency is an adherence to the rules. The behavior with Consistency is that outward understanding of how everyone is going to work together.



Curate the best environment for someone with Consistency by making sure there’s clarity on what your common mission is. You are going to be better executing towards that common mission on a scalable fashion if you have an understanding of how success will be measured.



Let go of being trendy. Let go of the necessity to couple creativity and newness with success. Novelty for the sake of novelty is never going to be something you’re drawn to. You will be more refreshed and more able to get things done when you’re able to settle into a routine.



Look for an awareness of what is fair in a social setting when you’re partnering with someone with high Consistency. Partner with them when you’re deciding if what you’re planning to do can be repeated over and over again. Is it going to be something that everyone can benefit from? Is it a rule or a product that can appeal to everyone? Look for that awareness, and look for it early. Look for excellence in creating and adhering to a plan. Look for a love affair with rules. Talk about them on purpose.



Recognize the safety that individuals with Consistency create. Others can try new ideas, they can go to places they never thought they could do, because of the safety that Consistency creates. Don’t make recognition a surprise. They should know how they’re doing and whether or not they are hitting their benchmarks.



Help them take Consistency beyond just how they approach things, and help them connect to their values. How can they use their sense of balance to bring about a change in others? Help them spend time not just exploring what already is there. Expand their brains by asking what future routines they could establish today to help improve performance?


If Consistency is one of your Dominant Themes, invest in it this week through the following challenge items:

List all the rules you have set for yourself in the course of a normal day.
Ask somebody who knows you very well:
What do I always do well?
When am I always frustrated?
How do I always provide value to the group?

If Consistency is not one of your Dominant Themes, invest in it this week through the following challenge items:

How do you create safety and predictability for others?
What are the most important rules to you in a social contract?

Gallup's Theme Thursday is a live Webcast that targets strengths coaches and enthusiasts to provide a deeper context behind the language of strengths by talking in-depth about each of the 34 Clifton StrengthsFinder themes.

Context is about comprehending the present by knowing the past. There is a value in being able to not miss things that have been relevant and important in the past, especially as you are thinking about how to move through the present and into the future.



If you are high in Context you create safety by ensuring that mistakes are not repeated. You can promote inclusivity by understanding individual and group histories. When Context is at its best those high in it are well informed. They are prepared for anything. They can calmly reference what they know when faced with a problem. It is helpful to show the path that lead to where you are today, and explore the steps on how you got there.


Raise your hand for the opportunity to help people understand what they’re currently a part of. Help them understand who came before them, and what stories led us to where we are today. Set the scene for where you are based on what you’ve been doing. Context brings the amazing ability to show where you’ve been, and give a glimpse into what could happen next.



Ask for the history even if other people don’t think there is a history. Ask for a strengths-based understanding of history. Ask for the most important failure. Ask for the most important success. You can hear from these questions that they’re all looking backwards, but doing it in a supportive way that garners excitement for the future. Look for other ways to read history. Worry less about being creative on your own. Look for advisors you can go to in order to inform you on where they’ve been.



Expect some curiosity from people high in Context on where you’ve been before, not just what you’re doing today. If you don’t have high Context this can appear as resistance, but for people high in Context it is just showing that they care. Context isn’t looking for risk, it isn’t necessarily looking for a plan, it is looking for historical understanding. Context is telling stories for the reason of doing the right thing. People high in this theme aren’t just great story tellers, they are great story listeners.



Recognize the roots that they provide for thought. When they can get their understanding of history in a place that other people can digest it creates a solid understanding that opens up others’ minds for creativity. Context creates a lot of great roots that allows things to happen that wouldn’t otherwise be credible. Recognize someone by looking at their own history. Look at now just where they are, but where they’ve come from.



Give someone with Context the chance to practice sharing what they know to get into others’ heads. Context doesn’t need an audience, but it can benefit from having one. Give them information, and then help them sort. Guide them through all of the details, and let them navigate you towards the points that are standing out.



To partner with someone with Context share some personal history. They are going to know you better if they can know where you’ve been. Tell them what pieces of history help you move forward. Help them realize what pieces are relevant to improving your own performance.


If Context is one of your Dominant Themes, invest in it this week through the following challenge items:

Find a local totem that has helped defined the folklore of your community.
Find someone who has been working on your team the longest, and ask them about what daily life was like for them when they first started.

If Context is not one of your Dominant Themes, invest in it this week through the following challenge items:

Storyboard your personal history.
What gives you confidence in your decisions?

Gallup's Theme Thursday is a live Webcast that targets strengths coaches and enthusiasts to provide a deeper context behind the language of strengths by talking in-depth about each of the 34 Clifton StrengthsFinder themes.

On this Theme Thursday Season Four webcast, Jim Collison, Gallup's Director of Talent Sourcing, and Maika Leibbrandt, Senior Workplace Consultant, talk about Deliberative.

Deliberative takes great care in making decisions that avoid foreseeable risks. They are thoughtful, considerate, aware, and really tuned in to what’s going on. It is about minimizing risk at all costs. It’s wanting to jump, and knowing that when you’re jumping that nobody is going to fall. When somebody with high Deliberative is at their best their diligence and decision making brings confidence. They are up for making choices, especially choices that matter. Individuals with high Deliberative enjoy the process of sorting through options to move things forward. When they are at their best they are anticipating obstacles and preventing mistakes.



If you are high in Deliberative get involved in big decisions. Raise your hand for being involved in sorting through options. Sort through the existing evidence to make the best decision moving forward. Ask early and often for as many details as are currently available. Ask for the agenda. Ask for the enrollment data for students. Ask what expectations are expected of you early and often. Slowing things down is a by-product for the amount of time and consideration Deliberative puts into things.


Ask for the opportunity, whether that is time or information, to consider your options, particularly with existing tasks. Ask for clear understanding of how success is going to be determined. Deliberative is so much better when it has had an opportunity to really interact with all the parts of a particular task.



Worry less about making on the spot judgements. You can be responsive by promising people that you’re going to think about things. Avoid roles that are going to require you to make on the spot judgement. Get in front of it by finding phrases that buy you the time that it takes to consider things. Teach others the value that they get by working with you.

When working for someone high in Deliberative look for caution. Look for healthy skepticism. These are individuals that are probably going to think before they ask. Look for that thoughtfulness as a sign that they are starting to engage. Expect them to be great listeners. Expect them to be discriminating and selective. It can take them some time to warm up and recognize that confidence in partners.



One way you can recognize high Deliberative is to know what they’ve decided, and what they’re currently thinking about. Staying connected with them, means staying present with them in their execution process. Celebrate what they’ve gone all in on.



To help stretch Deliberative offer to think with them. Consider weighing your options together. Be a sounding board by helping them prioritize and classify the potential risks that they can see. Make sure that you’ve offered up all the information you have about something, and give them the opportunity to sort through it.



When partnering with Deliberative respect their privacy. Offer your expertise. Help them know what role you play best, and how you play it. Let them know what you can be counted on to contribute. Be a good partner by just being transparent, patient, and showing up.




If Deliberative is one of your Dominant Themes, invest in it this week through the following challenge items:

Set aside 20 minutes just to yourself to sort through the current ideas you have.
Find the right words to explain your thinking process to others.
When working with partners find a way to communicate when you will get back to them.

If Deliberative is not one of your Dominant Themes, invest in it this week through the following challenge items:

Develop a coding system on your calendar.
In your next big meeting take a drink before you speak to give you time to slow down your brain, and it will give others time to process what is going on.

On this Theme Thursday Season Four webcast, Jim Collison, Gallup's Director of Talent Sourcing, and Maika Leibbrandt, Senior Workplace Consultant, talk about Competition.


The essence of Competition is comparison driven performance. Those high in Competition are really driven to win. They do not just want to play, they want to be the best. It is an awareness of your competitors. Those high in Competition get energy just from the act of competing. They embrace the fact that they are performing, and their performance can get better when they are comparing it to other performers.

When Competition is at its best they can keep the team or product relevant in the market. Competition is not just about getting lost on a goal that they thought was important. Because of that ability to look left and right, Competition keeps you relevant to your customers. It is about focusing not just what goes in, but also what comes out. You may be more willing to change your strategy if it is not working, because you are not only paying attention to the effort you are putting in, but what that is translating to. There is a finish line with Competition. It is not good enough to just give good effort, you have to be the best.
Look for tasks and projects that are measured against others. Look for it where it already exists. Even if you are doing something new and creative, think about who you are going to compete with. Think about looking for categories around Competition that will be relevant to your performance. Pay attention to specialization. Take on challenges that really require the skills, expertise, and experience that you have. Ask yourself what your niche is.

Ask for metrics. Ask for how success is going to be determined. Ask who the players are. Invite feedback, not only with criticism, but for when you’ve won. You really can learn a lot more from a victory than you can from a loss. Competition has this drive to be an effective influencer. Ask for feedback on how ideas are coming across. There is a binary experience to winning and losing.

Worry less about playing for the sake of playing, or working for the sake of being busy. Relevance matters. You will get better practice when you know the stakes are really high. Lean in and focus on the times where you win, because you’re always playing. Performance affects you more than other people, so don’t worry about not being able to immediately bounce back when it hurts.

When working with Competition look for energy when the stakes are high. Look for an external understanding of progress. Expect cheering and support for meaningful markers of performance. That inspiration is a talent marker that will always be in relationship to a goal. Those with Competition are people that wake up and either know or look for ways to measure their progress towards a goal.

Explore the “who” that they’re winning for. Think about those with Competition being a champion for others. Who are they building up? Who are they winning for? Name what it is you’re measuring, and recognize that public recognition is going to matter to those high with Competition. Look for opportunities to talk about what their Competition has created. Think about talking about what’s on the line, and then keeping your word when they fulfill their goal.

Collaboratively filtering work that is measured, compared, seen, and winnable is a great way to partner with Competition. Help them focus on the work that is the most important to them, and that they can win. Focus on where their energy is drawn to. Support them in doing the pieces that have really come alive to them. Help them run fast when sprinting towards a goal.

If Competition is one of your Dominant Themes, invest in it this week through the following challenge items:
•Set up news alerts for top performing products in your industry.
•Read the biography of a successful person you admire.
•Identify a peer who you can compete against, and measure how you can identify who wins.
•Turn your partner into your cheerleader by sharing what your most valued future win is going to be.


If Competition is not one of your Dominant Themes, invest in it this week through the following challenge items:
•Cheer on someone who is competing.
•What is something that you always do that you could try to do better, and how can you measure your improvement?
•Ask for feedback from partners you really value.

On this Theme Thursday Season Four webcast, Jim Collison, Gallup's Director of Talent Sourcing, and Maika Leibbrandt, Senior Workplace Consultant, talk about Developer.

The essence of Developer is noticing potential, spotting signs of progress in others, and deriving satisfaction from evidence of growth. It is being drawn to people based on what they can become. Individuals with Developer help curate experiences that lead to improvement.
When Developer is at its best they are accepting of others. It’s the idea that Developers themselves are hopeful and the effect that has on other people is that it can create teams full of hope. It’s the natural ability to say tomorrow is going to be better than today which can be a powerful motivating factor. Individuals with high Developer bring patience to the team, especially when they’re dealing with inexperience because they are not stuck on where we have been or where we’re at today, rather where we are going. Developers are thoughtful and smart about how to configure winning contributors and effective teams. Developer is about the belief that every person we encounter is on the pathway to getting better.

Look for opportunities to be out loud encouraging. Other people aren’t going to notice the incremental growth that you notice so celebrate in a way that gets noticed. You see not just what is but what can be, so share that both on a social level and on a project level. On a social level this refers to what a person can become. On a project level means how we can make our product, service, and teamwork better. Search for opportunities when your primary role is having responsibility for facilitating growth of others. Look for opportunities to teach, to coach, and to manage people.

Ask people about their goals and strengths. You’re going to be better if you aren’t just reaching for places where people could get better and land together on where the most energy for development already lies. An environment that allows time on purpose for recognition is a rich environment for people with developer. You’re going notice growth, so permission or a platform to recognize that growth will be a benefit for everyone.

Worry less about who you are not. Developers don’t tend to be selective with praise. Worry less about being that person who is only holding out for excellence when you praise somebody. All growth is good growth to you. Worry less about being okay with the phrase, “It is what it is.” You can’t help but see potential for improvement, so don’t dampen your drive for improvement or change.

When working with Developer you can expect patience. People with developer are patient with other people. You can expect forward-looking focus, not stuck on where we are, but always asking what can be and how can we get a little bit better. Expect that encouragement is going to matter to them. It might look like acceptance of lower performance, but you should see this as investment, engagement, and interest.

Notice and recognize when they’ve helped other people to perform. Look for ways to recognize them by saying things like, “They couldn’t have hit that target without your support” or “You saw this in me before I did.” Speak developer language, and spot small signs of improvement. Don’t wait until something is complete to recognize it because chances are the moment has passed for Developer.

In order to stretch Developer, give them opportunities to coach, mentor, or teach others without over prescribing what needs to happen, leave the “how to” up to them. Help them hone their ability to recognize and praise others and to look at recognition as a skill. Offer feedback on great recognition by being specific, individualized, genuine, and now.

When partnering with Developer, don’t let them hang on too long to chronic underperformers. It can be a vulnerability of Developers, they can always see that people can get better. If someone is not going to work out in a certain role, don’t hand them to a Developer. Have some open lines of conversation of where the greatest potential for growth can be and have the Developer focus there. Demonstrate investment in the relationship with that person by sharing your goals and priorities and letting them partner with you.

If Developer is one of your Dominant Themes, invest in it this week through the following challenge items:
1.Study the 5 Clues to Talent and select 1 to watch for in others.
2.Count the number of people you’re currently helping reach a goal then increase it by 3.
3.Write a note of recognition to someone recognizing their improvement.

If Deliberative is one of your Dominant Themes, invest in it this week through the following challenge items:
1.Focus on 1 important relationship: What does this person do better today than they did a year ago? Tell them.
2.You may be more inclined to challenge others than encourage others. Notice how you do both, and name a time when each is appropriate.

Gallup's Theme Thursday is a live Webcast that targets strengths coaches and enthusiasts to provide a deeper context behind the language of strengths by talking in-depth about each of the 34 Clifton StrengthsFinder themes.

On this Theme Thursday Season Four webcast, Jim Collison, Gallup's Director of Talent Sourcing, and Maika Leibbrandt, Senior Workplace Consultant, talk about Discipline.

People exceptionally talented in Discipline enjoy routine and structure. Their world is best described by the order they create. Individuals with Discipline are detail-oriented and architects of structure. They don’t just follow the rules that are in front of them but they think in a way that creates rules. People with Discipline are quite planned, they’re exact and exacting.

When Discipline is at its best, it brings order and stability to chaos or to mess, not just bringing order and stability where there already is some. Discipline is enhancing the current reality by sorting it into predictable order. It’s thoughtfully moving through tasks in a way that maximizes effort. With this, there is an element of efficiency.

Get close to the measure of success on every team you’re on. Ask where we are going, even if it seems no one else is asking this. You can be a safari guide for others by moving people from the current state to a desired state by incorporating a plan. A plan for someone like you is a vehicle, and your best tool you can offer. You know that a plan has a start, a middle, and an end and that’s the best tool for you to make the best sense of chaos in your own life. Also think of a plan as an opportunity for you to raise your hand and offer your best to other people. Break big projects into manageable plans, you can break something complicated down into something trackable.

Ask for rules, metrics, and clear understanding of what the best outcome should be and ask for that in a way that isn’t left up to interpretation. Ask for the black and white evidence of whether something is on track. Ask for overt permission or agreement to sort and organize. You can run into trouble if it feels like everyone is sorting and organizing.

Worry less about doing things differently for the sake of doing things creatively. You should pay attention to improvement and measure it, but don’t throw your hat into the ring when it comes to creativity for creativity’s sake. Your Discipline can be a benefit to other people if you can separate it from ownership. It can be a great tool to other people if you can use discipline in more of a leadership capacity. Help other people plan and let go of the ownership of the outcome.

Expect practical relationships with what is. It’s about dealing with what’s in front of you than a matter of what if. Understand the moving pieces that are in front of you instead of dreaming about what they can be. Expect a value of what is promised. Those with Discipline are always on the way to a goal, so shifting goals or priorities will need to be obvious and overt.

Recognize the safety or the order they’ve created for others. Recognize them with data and statistics to back up why you believe something is positive. Don’t just say “that was great.” Instead, talk about the effect of their work, their process, or their structure. Explain to them because of their approach, you achieved XYZ.

Stretch by asking for the most important goals they’re facing, and then ask how you can stretch them in meaningful and achievable ways. Tap into their process for achieving goals to help them achieve their own. Ask them what they could do more efficiently, or even times of the day they are more disciplined than others.

Support those with discipline by offering metrics when you have them, and create them when you don’t. There is always something you can rate, rank, or sort and that makes chaos more organized. It's a benefit to be a thought partner to this executing theme. Discipline is how do I move towards a goal, not just how do I think in a really clear manner. You can be be a great thinking partner by helping someone with Discipline get something they need done, done by thinking and talking it through.

If Discipline is one of your Dominant Themes, invest in it this week through the following challenge items:
1. Develop your trusted set of routines for when flexibility or change is required. 3-step response system.

2. Add “3 big priorities” to your calendar for each day.

3. Name a time your Discipline created excellence for someone else.


If Discipline is not one of your dominant themes, invest in it this week through the following challenge items:
1. Find an accountability partner (Relationship-Building): Who keeps you honest in pursuit of your goals? Host a goal-meeting date where you talk both about where you want to go and where you are currently going.

2. Name a habit you’ve been meaning to acquire. Take one small step toward this habit every single day, at the same time of day, for 1 week.

Gallup's Theme Thursday is a live Webcast that targets strengths coaches and enthusiasts to provide a deeper context behind the language of strengths by talking in-depth about each of the 34 Clifton StrengthsFinder themes.

On this Theme Thursday Season Four webcast, Jim Collison, Gallup's Director of Talent Sourcing, and Maika Leibbrandt, Senior Workplace Consultant, talk about Empathy.

Empathy is experiencing the emotion of others, feeling what others feel, and connecting by sensing. People with high Empathy are emotionally intuitive. Empathy is knowing through being present and paying attention to other people.

When Empathy is at its best, it serves as a barometer. You’re understanding the absorption of your message, and those of others. The extension of Empathy is not only being able to sense but anticipating the reaction and needs of others then tailoring your work to meet their needs. If relevance is the bulls-eye, Empathy can help you increase your accuracy on the moving target. Listen for what is meaningful, when it’s meaningful, how it is best heard.

Do more by practicing putting words to the unstated and understated. Speak up for clients or customers who you sense are not being heard. Act as a delegate or a champion for your peers. Where is their positive energy? Empathy isn’t just about knowing when someone is upset, it’s also about sharing in celebration. Where is there hesitation or anxiety? Practice putting what you’re sensing into words to help your leader or peers discover what is actually happening. Take action quickly and firmly when you sense someone is behaving in a way that is unhealthy for them or others. Understanding someone’s emotional state doesn’t mean you have to excuse negative behavior. When your empathy turns to sympathy, you may be seen as overly forgiving.

Ask for freedom to release your own emotion. You sense what everyone else is feeling, and at times it may feel like you are carrying a lot of weight so you will need a safe environment, trusted relationship, or a practice that helps you let it all out without judgement. Ask for access to people in multiple channels and pay attention to when your intuition is spot on. Is it best when you’re one on one? Then ask for more one on one time. Is it over the phone? Are you excellent at honing your text empathy? Most people find their Empathy works best in person, so if that’s true for you, ask for that face time. Additionally, never eat alone. Eating with others is an opportunity to sneak in connection time that might be more available for others than looking for a scheduled meeting time.

Worry less about having a thick skin, or being stoic and unaffected in the face of emotional mess. You’re going to feel what others are feeling, so don’t pretend that doesn’t affect you. Know what kind of self-care helps you release what you’ve absorbed.

Expect people with high Empathy to be in-tune and intuitive. They may surprise you at how well they can pin you. Trust this because it’s not a show to impress you, it’s an awareness. It’s an awareness and presence with those they’re working around, playing around, or living around. You can also expect a willingness to be led. In combination to Empathy, there’s an adaptability to be led by the present moment. The best plans can change based upon how your audience is reacting.

Recognize when someone’s instinct has steered you away from the plan and lead you into perfection. Celebrate their past, present, and future Empathy. When have they uncovered something important in the past? How do they enhance the collaboration of the team right now? What are we doing in the future because of their perception or intuition?

Stretch by helping them know when and how to share what it is they’re picking up on. Pay attention to Empathy as an instrument. Fine tune it by helping them know who their most important stakeholders and customers are. Help them focus their Empathy towards those people. Play back to them great words they’ve used to describe emotion. Challenge them to develop an extensive vocabulary to describe emotion and give it a project or performance boost. For example: “In that meeting we just had, I got the sense that you were feeling apprehensive about starting the interns on such a big project. Can you tell me more about that and what might make it easier for us?”

Partner by asking them what they’re sensing and allow them time to think about it. Ask things like, “What’s your impression of..?”, “How did that land with..?”, and “When might be a good time to…?” Be honest with them about your own emotion and reaction. They’ll know if you’re not being honest, and they’ll appreciate your ability to speak their language.

If Empathy is one of your Dominant Themes, invest in it this week through the following challenge items:
1.Develop Killer Questions: Share a coffee with someone and spend the conversation asking great questions that help them describe their own experience and emotion. At the end, debrief individually by listing the best questions you asked. You know you’re asking a great question when the other person talks more!
2.Journal your own emotions for 1 week. Give yourself quick check-ins throughout the day and write down what you are feeling. Try to use different words to describe your experience each time.
3.Listen to a guided meditation (one of my favorites is called “Just Breathe” in a specific app, but just search for one). Do this for 5 minutes to help you release any emotion you may be holding onto that isn’t yours.

If Empathy is not one of your Dominant Themes, invest in it this week through the following challenge items:
1.Develop a conversation question that demonstrates you care about others. It could be “How are you feeling?”, “What’s most important to you today?” or “How full is your tank?” Ask yourself what works for you that you truly care about knowing and ask it 5 times this week.
2.Which themes help you connect with others?

On this Theme Thursday Season Four webcast, Jim Collison, Gallup's Director of Talent Sourcing, and Maika Leibbrandt, Senior Workplace Consultant, talk about Learner.

You love to learn. The subject matter that interests you most will be determined by your other themes and experiences, but whatever the subject, you will always be drawn to the process of learning. The process, more than the content or the result, is especially exciting for you. You are energized by the steady and deliberate journey from ignorance to competence. The thrill of the first few facts, the early efforts to recite or practice what you have learned, the growing confidence of a skill mastered—this is the process that entices you. Your excitement leads you to engage in adult learning experiences—yoga or piano lessons or graduate classes. It enables you to thrive in dynamic work environments where you are asked to take on short project assignments and are expected to learn a lot about the new subject matter in a short period of time and then move on to the next one. This Learner theme does not necessarily mean that you seek to become the subject matter expert, or that you are striving for the respect that accompanies a professional or academic credential. The outcome of the learning is less significant than the “getting there.”

They have a quality orientation that leads them to focus on areas of strength for themselves and others and to manage around weakness.

Those especially talented in this theme can quickly turn strangers into acquaintances. They don’t just break the ice—they melt it through warmth and hospitality. They are charming and open.
