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.
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.
Relator
Relator describes your attitude toward your relationships. In simple terms, the Relator theme pulls you
toward people you already know. You do not necessarily shy away from meeting new people—in fact, you
may have other themes that cause you to enjoy the thrill of turning strangers into friends—but you do

derive a great deal of pleasure and strength from being around your close friends. You are comfortable
with intimacy. Once the initial connection has been made, you deliberately encourage a deepening of the
relationship. You want to understand their feelings, their goals, their fears, and their dreams; and you want
them to understand yours. You know that this kind of closeness implies a certain amount of risk—you might
be taken advantage of—but you are willing to accept that risk. For you a relationship has value only if it is
genuine. And the only way to know that is to entrust yourself to the other person. The more you share with
each other, the more you risk together. The more you risk together, the more each of you proves your
caring is genuine. These are your steps toward real friendship, and you take them willingly.
Discipline
Your world needs to be predictable. It needs to be ordered and planned. So you instinctively impose
structure on your world. You set up routines. You focus on timelines and deadlines. You break long-term
projects into a series of specific short-term plans, and you work through each plan diligently. You are not
necessarily neat and clean, but you do need precision. Faced with the inherent messiness of life, you want
to feel in control. The routines, the timelines, the structure, all of these help create this feeling of control.
Lacking this theme of Discipline, others may sometimes resent your need for order, but there need not be
conflict. You must understand that not everyone feels your urge for predictability; they have other ways of
getting things done. Likewise, you can help them understand and even appreciate your need for structure.
Your dislike of surprises, your impatience with errors, your routines, and your detail orientation don’t need
to be misinterpreted as controlling behaviors that box people in. Rather, these behaviors can be
understood as your instinctive method for maintaining your progress and your productivity in the face of
life’s many distractions.
Individualization
Your Individualization theme leads you to be intrigued by the unique qualities of each person. You are
impatient with generalizations or “types” because you don’t want to obscure what is special and distinct
about each person. Instead, you focus on the differences between individuals. You instinctively observe
each person’s style, each person’s motivation, how each thinks, and how each builds relationships. You
hear the one-of-a-kind stories in each person’s life. This theme explains why you pick your friends just the
right birthday gift, why you know that one person prefers praise in public and another detests it, and why
you tailor your teaching style to accommodate one person’s need to be shown and another’s desire to
“figure it out as I go.” Because you are such a keen observer of other people’s strengths, you can draw out
the best in each person. This Individualization theme also helps you build productive teams. While some
search around for the perfect team “structure” or “process,” you know instinctively that the secret to great
teams is casting by individual strengths so that everyone can do a lot of what they do well.

Achiever
Your Achiever theme helps explain your drive. Achiever describes a constant need for achievement. You
feel as if every day starts at zero. By the end of the day you must achieve something tangible in order to
feel good about yourself. And by “every day” you mean every single day—workdays, weekends, vacations.
No matter how much you may feel you deserve a day of rest, if the day passes without some form of
achievement, no matter how small, you will feel dissatisfied. You have an internal fire burning inside you. It
pushes you to do more, to achieve more. After each accomplishment is reached, the fire dwindles for a
moment, but very soon it rekindles itself, forcing you toward the next accomplishment. Your relentless need
for achievement might not be logical. It might not even be focused. But it will always be with you. As an
Achiever you must learn to live with this whisper of discontent. It does have its benefits. It brings you the
energy you need to work long hours without burning out. It is the jolt you can always count on to get you
started on new tasks, new challenges. It is the power supply that causes you to set the pace and define the
levels of productivity for your work group. It is the theme that keeps you moving.
