1. Strengths Based Leadership Insight Report
(Personalized)
SURVEY COMPLETION DATE: 02-16-2016
Leader: Ashraf Siddique
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 ten 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.

2. Your Personalized Strengths Insights
Futuristic
Driven by your talents, you occasionally share your dreams about the coming months, years, or
decades with people who appreciate your originality. Perhaps less imaginative individuals rely on you
to tell them what is possible. Because of your strengths, you sometimes trust your ability to be an
innovative thinker. You might invent several ways to reach a particular goal. Perhaps your next step is
to narrow down your options to the best one. Sometimes you take into consideration prevailing
circumstances, available resources, budgetary constraints, or pressing deadlines. Instinctively, you
may create some vivid images of what can be done in the coming months, years, or decades.
Perhaps you are prompted to transform your ideas into things you can touch, taste, see, smell, or
hear. It’s very likely that you think a lot about the coming months, years, or decades. You gravitate to
projects and study subjects that promise to shape the future. You enjoy talking about possibilities that
exist only in your imagination. You probably worry about being left behind if what you know and do
were no longer valued or needed. You prefer to be a pioneer and an inventor. By nature, you
sometimes feel an urge to introduce yourself to visitors and start talking with them. Why? Maybe you
welcome the chance to tell one more person what you dream of accomplishing in the coming months,
years, or decades. Maybe you just want the individual to like you.
Relator
Because of your strengths, you may instruct, guide, train, or tutor certain types of individuals. Perhaps
you choose to stay within your area of specialization, however. People may notice that you become
more confident when you can share your knowledge or demonstrate your skills. Instinctively, you are
someone to whom others turn for an honest perspective about a project, person, event, or idea. They
trust you will share your viewpoints. By nature, you occasionally tell yourself that you are an effective
mentor or trainer. Perhaps individuals benefit from the investment you make in them. Chances are
good that you often find that individuals solicit your ideas and views on a variety of issues. Even
though you like working by yourself, people probably feel comfortable interrupting you with their
questions. They are apt to ask what you think and feel about sensitive topics, internal organizational
battles, or the behavior of individuals. Driven by your talents, you welcome opportunities to spend time
with friends who enjoy thinking about the future. They often invite you to offer suggestions about what
can and cannot be accomplished in the coming months, years, or decades.
Focus
Instinctively, you might have strong powers of concentration. When necessary, you might reduce
plans, processes, or mechanisms into their fundamental parts. Perhaps your methodical approach
frees you to understand how and why certain things do or do not operate properly. Driven by your
talents, you really push yourself to be the best. You typically gain an advantage whenever you can
dictate how the game will be played or how a project will be organized. You characteristically prefer to

3. be the person in charge of your life. By nature, you may like to participate in discussions where
decisions are made about what an individual or group needs to accomplish in the near-term or the
long-term. Because of your strengths, you may recognize you have a bit more stick-to-itiveness —
that is, dogged determination — than certain people have. This might be apparent to you and others
when you are starting or finishing specific kinds of tasks. Chances are good that you are
unsentimental and not often swayed by emotional arguments or passionate pleas. People are likely to
describe you as quite realistic and practical.
Competition
Chances are good that you sometimes outwit people by capitalizing on your ingenuity — that is, your
originality. When scores are being tallied, you might rely on your talents to emerge the victor. Because
of your strengths, you are eager to broaden your knowledge and expand your skills when
comparisons are made between you and your opponents. Sometimes your rivalries are public.
Sometimes they are known only to you. Either way, you are determined to be victorious by capturing
the top prize, finishing in first place, or being declared the very best. By nature, you typically are
friendly and responsive to people, especially when doing so positions you to capture the top prize and
the championship title. Instinctively, you simply cannot have too much information. It is impossible.
Like a miner searches for gold day after day, you continually collect new bits of knowledge.
Depending on your other talents, you can delve into one or two interesting topics, or you can opt to
know a little about a wide range of subjects. Your longing for knowledge is unlikely to be satisfied until
you are recognized by others as the ultimate expert in a field or the grand champion of trivia. It’s very
likely that you normally evaluate your current results in light of your past accomplishments. You
intentionally vie for first place when comparisons are made between your solo performances and
those of other individuals. Whenever your talent, knowledge, or skills are being judged, you certainly
relish knowing the victory is yours alone.
Self-Assurance
Because of your strengths, you regularly evaluate situations and methodically think through things to
make the right decision. You want to examine facts so you can determine how one piece of
information does or does not fit neatly with the next one. By nature, you routinely engage in exciting
and adventurous activities. You refuse to settle for a boring existence. You probably sense that you
have much to offer individuals and groups. Purposeful challenges combined with your realized
potential impel you to take risks others avoid. Chances are good that you may toughen up or fortify
certain individuals by telling them how much you value their contributions, talents, knowledge, or
skills. Instinctively, you may choose to be an individual performer. You probably trust your ability to
handle risk. A life full of guaranteed success fails to offer the excitement you desire. This explains why
you quickly become bored with mundane, tedious, or repetitious tasks. Driven by your talents, you
may feel contented with the advances you have made in certain areas of your life. Perhaps you trust
your judgment in identifying what you do well.
Input
Driven by your talents, you desire to acquire additional knowledge and gain new skills. Why? You are
naturally curious. You often work alone to commit information to memory. You probably have a
solitary place where you can practice your art, craft, sport, or science. Because of your strengths, you

4. characteristically use reason to enlighten individuals about the intricacies of issues, processes,
events, problems, or decisions. You often detect nuances in data and information that people
generally overlook. You derive much pleasure from bringing key facts, points, and circumstances to
the attention of others. Instinctively, you show some signs of preparing for conversations or
discussions by collecting background information. You might set aside at least five hours of quiet time
each week to review what you know. You might use part of this time to expand your thinking. Maybe
new material sends you hunting for additional evidence to support such things as a specific theory,
concept, or proposal. It’s very likely that you may be a no-nonsense thinker. You might take your time
to weigh the pros and cons of an issue, idea, or opportunity. Sometimes you delay rendering a
decision or making a change. You might need to review more evidence, data, or information than
others do. To some degree, you are puzzled by those who rush into action without gathering facts and
evaluating them. Because you carefully process your thoughts, perhaps you save time, minimize
errors, or conserve resources. By nature, you periodically look forward to attending certain
presentations or seminars. While particular people grumble about having to participate, perhaps you
know you will acquire a bit of new information. You may have a tendency to forge linkages between
some of the speaker’s statements and a few of your own concepts, philosophies, or theories. You
might expand your knowledge base by engaging in lively discussions.
Significance
Because of your strengths, you might enjoy speaking when you sense your audience is open-minded
enough to consider your ideas. Instinctively, you might exhibit a strong work ethic. Perhaps work gives
your life a sense of purpose it would otherwise lack. By nature, you might want specific individuals to
conclude you are trustworthy, competent, and accomplished. Perhaps you aim to impress key
authority figures, experts, family members, peers, neighbors, or friends.
Deliberative
Instinctively, you may have a reputation for thinking through things before you speak. Perhaps this is
one reason why some people feel better about themselves when you say, “I truly value your opinion”
or “I know you can do this job.” Driven by your talents, you rarely think about winning the affection of
people. Perhaps being your own person is more important to you than being popular with lots of
individuals By nature, you might refuse to recklessly forge ahead. Why? Perhaps you need to think
through everything first. To some extent, you reduce problems, solutions, opportunities, and
processes to their most basic parts. Maybe you overcome feelings of anxiety or unfairness by forcing
yourself to concentrate solely on the facts. Because of your strengths, you may be known for your
sound work ethic. Perhaps your dependability and/or commitment to excel set you apart as a no-
nonsense, trustworthy, and exceptionally mature individual. Chances are good that you often are
described as a no-nonsense person. You are determined to examine the smallest details of
processes, problems, regulations, plans, and contracts. Breaking these into their basic parts helps
you better understand them. You are easily annoyed by individuals who fail to give you enough time
to methodically investigate, study, or think through things.
Learner
Chances are good that you usually equate education — formal and informal — with understanding
more about something today than you understood about it yesterday. Because of your strengths, you

5. probably are a solo performer. You are determined to broaden your knowledge and acquire new skills.
You are repeatedly drawn into the process of education. Instinctively, you can finagle — that is, obtain
by indirect or involved means — time with people who think about the coming years and decades.
Routinely, you read their writings or listen to their conversations. You probably ask them questions
and consider their responses. You file away lots of ideas and facts, sensing that one day this
information will prove to be useful. Whether it ever actually does become useful makes no difference
to you. Collecting the predictions of forward-looking thinkers is apt to be rewarding in and of itself. It’s
very likely that you might register for high level courses or honors classes. Why? Perhaps you are
attracted to subjects that are not easy to comprehend. Occasionally you trust yourself enough to test
your mental endurance and agility.
Discipline
Because of your strengths, you sometimes establish rules or processes to handle recurring activities
as well as tedious tasks. Perhaps you reinforce the fact that no one is exempt from following standard
operating procedures. By nature, you may stay abreast of newsworthy events. Perhaps you have a
process in place to monitor issues of personal or professional interest. Periodically you might collect
updates from print or broadcast media or through one-on-one conversations with informed individuals.
By balancing what you hear, read, or see, you might be able to sort fact from fiction. Chances are
good that you accomplish a lot more as an individual performer when you are permitted to devise a
workable plan. You normally complete your projects, tasks, or assignments on or even ahead of
schedule when you have outlined each action step. Instinctively, you naturally prefer to work
independently of others. Why? Doing so permits you to keep your workspace organized, uncluttered,
and clean. Driven by your talents, you periodically institute procedures and establish rules that help
certain groups of people manage the daily, weekly, monthly, or annual chores that are part of any
project. Perhaps you outline a detailed plan. You may work to make sure specific individuals
understand it. Possibly these are two ways you maintain healthy relationships with friends who also
are your coworkers, teammates, supervisors, peers, direct reports, or study partners.
