Assessing your Results

I have chosen to focus on the Four Domains of Leadership Strengths as defined by Conchie & Rath in their book "Strength Based Leadership" (2008). Based on your most common answers, please find which domain best describes you, read the summary, and look to the themes that fall under your domain.

All of us have leadership strengths in more than one Domain. After assessing your score, look over the other areas to perhaps find themes that describe you as well. Was this reflected in your responses to the survey?

I answered mostly "A"

Executing

"Leaders with dominant strength in the Executing domain know how to make things happen. When you need someone to implement a solution, these are the people who will work tirelessly to get it done. Leaders with a strength to execute have the ability to "catch" an idea and make it a reality" 

THEMES:

Achiever

Arranger

Belief

Consistency

Deliberative

Discipline

Focus

Responsibility

Restorative

I answered mostly "B"

Influencing

"Those who lead by Influencing help their team reach a much broader audience. People with strength in this domain are always selling the team's ideas inside and outside of the organization. When you need someone to take charge, speak up, and make sure your group is heard, look to someone with the strength to influence."

THEMES:

Activator

Command

Communication

Competition

Maximizer

Self-assurance

Significance

Woo

I answered mostly "C"

Relationship Building

"Those who lead through Relationship Building are the essential glue that holds a team together. Without these strengths on a team, in many cases, the group is simply a composite of individuals. In contrast, leasers with exceptional Relationship Building strength have the unique ability to create groups and organizations that are much greater than the sum of their parts."

THEMES:

Adaptability

Developer

Connectedness

Empathy

Harmony

Includer

Individualization

Positivity

Relator

I answered mostly "D"

Strategic thinking

"Leaders with great strategic strengths are the ones who keep us all focused on what could be. They are constantly absorbing and analyzing information and helping the team make better decisions. People with strength in this domain continually stretch our thinking for the future."

THEMES:

Analytical

Context

Futuristic

Ideation

Input

Intellection

Learner

Strategic
