The following are the FOUR DOMAINS OF LEADERSHIP STRENGTH according to the book "Strengths-Based Leadership" by Tom Rath and Barrie Conchie
I'll outline them below, followed by a comparison with the 4 Domains previously developed by Gallup
The Domains of Leadership Strength
EXECUTING- Achiever, Arranger, Belief, Consistency, Deliberative, Discipline, Focus, Responsibility, Restorative
INFLUENCING- Activator, Command, Communication, Competition, Maximizer, Self-Assurance, Significance, Woo
RELATIONSHIP- Adaptability, Developer, Connectedness, Empathy, Harmony, Includer, Individualization, Positivity, Relator
STRATEGIC THINKING- Analytical, Context, Futuristic, Ideation, Input, Intellection, Learner, Strategic
For the sake of analysis I will correlate the categories as such:
Executing=Striving(working harder)
Influencing=Impacting (influencing others)
Relationship=Relating (relating with others)
Strategic Thinking= Thinking (working smarter)
Unfortunately I don't have access to the underlying data to confirm these assumptions, but from observation, they seem accurate.
What I would like to know is if the new categories are unique because of the business application of the strengths, or if Gallup in their ongoing research has refined the categories and now the new ones are more accurate. Below, I will highlight the strengths that have switched categories.

Communication____Relating____________ Influencing

Major upgrade to strengthsfinder.com website
That's right fellow Strengths Finders, http://strengthsfinder.com has launched a major upgrade. The home page looks the same, but once you log in with your user name and password, everything changes. In addition, Tom Rath, along with Barry Conchie have written a new book entitled, "Strengths-based Leadership: Great leaders, teams and why people follow"
After clicking on Sign in on what looks like the original homepage, you will be directed to the new home page
You will then be taken to the new Sign in page
Another great feature of the new website is that you can use your old login information and have full access to the new reports and interface. That's right the reports have slightly changed as well.
Enter your new, or old user information either from the code in the envelope in the back of your book, or from the previous time you took the test.
It seems that now you can use the 2.0 version of the assessment with any of the Gallup sites or books, including Vital Friends, Strengths Quest, How Full is Your Bucket?, StrengthsExplorer, and StrengthsFinder 1.0. This is great news for those of us who have taken Strengths Finder in years past and have bemoaned the fact that only the newer books allow you to take the 2.0 version. But curiously, NOT Now, Discover Your Strengths. Could it be that M. Buckingham negotiated the rights to that one?? Inquiring minds want to know.
Still need to investigate if I can go back with my 1.0 codes and receive a 2.0 report. That would mean that all the people I bought How Full Is Your Bucket? to get the code could now go back and see their individualized report. That would be awesome!! (Need to confirm soon) If you know, please send me a message.
I also am wondering if all of the languages available with the 1.0 version have now been effectively translated to the 2.0. All they needed to do was to translate the data that comprised the 2.0 reports.
Final web shots...
At the writing of this blog, I'm still trying to log in to the website using my code from How Full is Your Bucket? to see if I can get the 2.0 individualized report. Keeping my fingers crossed.
