Do You Know Your Strengths?

Last week the staff at CWS began reading Strength Finders 2.0 and completing the on line test. Strength Finder’s concept is to forget about your weaknesses, and instead, find your talents and turn them into powerful strengths. It’s easier to take the talents you already have and make them AWESOME than to concentrate on your weaknesses and try to overcome them.

From the online test we discovered our top five individual talents. Then we placed all these talents on one sheet and viewed it from a team perspective. It was interesting to note where we had overlapping talent, where an individual had a unique talent that no one else possessed and where our team lacked talent.

There’s been a great deal of inter-office discussion and even joking about our talents but the point is, we are talking about it. The real test will be how we use this helpful information. So if you’re inclined, feel free to ask us how our Strength Finders 2.0 experiment is working out. Or maybe you won’t have to ask because our highly productive and happy environment will be evident.
