Many years of research conducted by The Gallup Organization suggest that the most effective people are
those who understand their strengths and behaviors. These people are best able to develop strategies to
meet and exceed the demands of their daily lives, their careers, and their families.

A review of the knowledge and skills you have acquired can provide a basic sense of your abilities, but an
awareness and understanding of your natural talents will provide true insight into the core reasons behind
your consistent successes.

Your Signature Themes report presents your five most dominant themes of talent, in the rank order
revealed by your responses to StrengthsFinder. Of the 3

4

themes measured, these are your “top five.”

Your Signature Themes are very important in maximizing the talents that lead to your successes. By
focusing on your Signature Themes, separately and in combination, you can identify your talents, build
them into strengths, and enjoy personal and career success through consistent, near-perfect performance.

Responsibility
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.

Includer
“Stretch the circle wider.” This is the philosophy around which you orient your life. You want to include
people and make them feel part of the group. In direct contrast to those who are drawn only to exclusive
groups, you actively avoid those groups that exclude others. You want to expand the group so that as
many people as possible can benefit from its support. You hate the sight of someone on the outside

looking in. You want to draw them in so that they can feel the warmth of the group. You are an instinctively
accepting person. Regardless of race or sex or nationality or personality or faith, you cast few judgments.
Judgments can hurt a person’s feelings. Why do that if you don’t have to? Your accepting nature does not
necessarily rest on a belief that each of us is different and that one should respect these differences.
Rather, it rests on your conviction that fundamentally we are all the same. We are all equally important.
Thus, no one should be ignored. Each of us should be included. It is the least we all deserve.

Strategic
The Strategic theme enables you to sort through the clutter and find the best route. It is not a skill that can
be taught. It is a distinct way of thinking, a special perspective on the world at large. This perspective
allows you to see patterns where others simply see complexity. Mindful of these patterns, you play out
alternative scenarios, always asking, “What if this happened? Okay, well what if this happened?” This
recurring question helps you see around the next corner. There you can evaluate accurately the potential
obstacles. Guided by where you see each path leading, you start to make selections. You discard the
paths that lead nowhere. You discard the paths that lead straight into resistance. You discard the paths
that lead into a fog of confusion. You cull and make selections until you arrive at the chosen path—your
strategy. Armed with your strategy, you strike forward. This is your Strategic theme at work: “What if?”
Select. Strike.

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.”

Developer
You see the potential in others. Very often, in fact, potential is all you see. In your view no individual is fully
formed. On the contrary, each individual is a work in progress, alive with possibilities. And you are drawn
toward people for this very reason. When you interact with others, your goal is to help them experience
success. You look for ways to challenge them. You devise interesting experiences that can stretch them
and help them grow. And all the while you are on the lookout for the signs of growth—a new behavior
learned or modified, a slight improvement in a skill, a glimpse of excellence or of “flow” where previously
there were only halting steps. For you these small increments—invisible to some—are clear signs of
potential being realized. These signs of growth in others are your fuel. They bring you strength and
satisfaction. Over time many will seek you out for help and encouragement because on some level they
know that your helpfulness is both genuine and fulfilling to you.
