Getting to Know Your STRENGTHS
#AICPA_EDGE 22
A Word About Strengths
• Is it just something that you’re good at?
• Is it different from a skill or ability?• Traditionally we would define a
talent in terms of the output• Strengths theory defines it in
terms of energy and engagement

#AICPA_EDGE 25
Know ThyselfA leader needs to know his strengths as a
carpenter knows his tools, or as a physician knows the instruments at her disposal. What great
leaders have in common is that each truly knows his or her strengths – and can call on the right
strength at the right time. This explains why there is no definitive list of characteristics that describes
all leaders.
‐ Dr. Donald O. Clifton
#AICPA_EDGE 26
Leadership is the capacity to influence human
thought, emotion, and behavior starting with my
own.

How do I identify my strengths?
• What is working well and how can I do more of it?
• What things energize me?
• Do I feel a sense of yearning or inevitability?
• Would I do this even if I weren’t getting paid?
• VIA and SBL surveys
#AICPA_EDGE 28
Pair Share• Give each person the opportunity to share
• What did you learn?
• What really jumped out at you?
• Does the report seem to accurately describe you and your strengths?

motivation . . . is a sense of service to others; focusing on the contribution of our work to other peoples’ lives has the potential to make us more productive than thinking about helping ourselves.”
