Take a Moment to Reflect

We asked you to share your strengths stories on social media — and many of you delivered! Something special happens when you discover more of who you are; it changes your perspective at work, at home and in your relationships. We want you to help others discover the same thing.

Anuja Rathi, 2^nd Vice President, Northern Trust Corporation, shares:

"I always knew training and coaching were my Ikigai (a Japanese concept that means your reason for being), but it was only when I took the CliftonStrengths assessment last year that I realized how my Communication, Maximizer and Individualization talents were helping me thrive! Knowing my strengths has made me more self-aware and confident, and I love taking others on this mind-blowing and enlightening journey that can change lives and careers." #MyStrengthsStory

Your No. 1 Strength Helps You Build Trust

The best leaders lead with their followers in mind. So, it stands to reason that four of the most important leadership traits are trust, compassion, stability and hope.

Building trust is the foundation for leading. Without trust, people won't feel as confident to follow you. It's vital that you use your strengths to communicate to others that you are trustworthy.

To help others trust you, try sharing your concerns or struggles. By doing so, your followers will be more likely to do the same. You are the best model of trust — whether it’s in your organization, your family, in your class, etc. Ask yourself:

How can I become a more approachable and vulnerable leader?
How can I be more curious about those I lead so they feel like they can trust me?
What’s best for my followers? How can I take better care of them?
