Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Instinctively, you may enjoy establishing links between people. Perhaps this requires
persistence and patience on your part. You may argue that relationships should be nurtured
slowly, not rushed. Driven by your talents, you now and then sense you are inextricably tied
to your teammates. Maybe you understand that your success depends on each one of them,
just as their individual successes hinge in some measure on you. It’s very likely that you
sometimes sense a special bond with certain individuals regardless of whether you have met
them. Perhaps time or distance does not prevent you from feeling closely linked to specific
people or the lives they lead. Chances are good that you might be determined to do good for
people and/or the environment. Perhaps you are puzzled by people who cause harm without
realizing they are hurting themselves. By nature, you conclude that your life is more
meaningful and you are happier when you can dedicate yourself to something of importance
to humankind. It can be something simple rather than something grand. You sense your acts
of kindness influence individuals to perform good deeds. You are likely to inspire generosity
in many people.
