Part 1 – Dominant, Supporting, and Lesser Talent Groups.
– Is there a natural cut-off where you think that the talents are your strongest? This cutoff often occurs between the 10th and 15th strengths.
– As you continue down toward your lesser talents, is there a natural cut-off near the bottom where you start to think that the talent group doesn’t describe you at all? This transition might happen near the bottom 5-10 talent groups.
Once you have identified these cutoff points, your talents will be broken into three groups: dominant, supporting, and lesser talents. You probably find it very natural and comfortable to use your dominant talents. You may find that you can use the supporting talents when necessary, but it is not your normal way of operating. Finally, you probably don’t use your lesser talents very often, or it is uncomfortable to do so. You might rely on some of your dominant or supporting talents to make up for those lesser talents. For example, if Focus is a lesser talent, you might find that you use Achiever or Discipline in situations where Focus is required.
1. Describe where you made the cutoffs and why you chose those talent groups.
2. Briefly describe a situation that demonstrated how you use your dominant talents.
3. Briefly describe a situation in which you leaned into one of your supporting talents.
4. Briefly describe (in CliftonStrengths terms) how you used your dominant or supporting talents to make up for a lesser talent.
Part 2 – Strengths and Weaknesses
According to Gallup, a strength is “the ability to provide consistent, near-perfect performance in a given activity.” As you think about your talent groups, are there any areas where you feel that you have really worked hard to make the best of how you use that talent? You might consider those talent groups your strengths. For example, if you naturally lead with the Focus talent group, you might have worked hard to ensure that you keep your team prioritized on its most important tasks. Therefore, Focus has become a strength for you.
Gallup defines weakness as “anything that gets in the way of your success.” There may be areas where you sometimes lean too hard into a talent group or don’t really know how to use the talent group. Every talent or strength has a shadow side, which can be thought of as too much of a good thing. For example, too much Focus can lead to a lack of ability to zoom out to see the big picture.
1. How have you cultivated your top talents into strengths?
2. Describe if the shadow side of your dominant or supporting talents have occasionally become weaknesses.
3. Describe if you consider your lesser talents as weaknesses.
