Top Five Leadership Strengths
StrengthsQuest, Gallup's strengths development program for college-age students, gives people the opportunity to develop strengths by building on their greatest talents - the way in which they most naturally think, feel, and behave as unique individuals.
My StrengthsQuest Top Five Strengths:
- Adaptability
"The genius of Adaptability talents lies in the way you respond to chaos: You can quickly
change and respond in circumstances that would be frightening or intimidating to others."
- Empathy
"The genius of Empathy talents lies in the emotional depth of the relationships you're able to
form with others. People feel understood by you and seek your company."
- Includer
"The genius of Includer talents lies in your sensitivity to those who are excluded and your desire
and capacity to bring them into the group.
- Developer
"The genius of Developer talents lie in your ability to see the raw potential and incremental
progress of others, and to actively invest in furthering that development."
- Consistency
"The genius of Consistency talents lies in the way you easily and quickly make judgments that
equally apply to everyone involved. As a result, people have confidence in you and see you as
trustworthy."
