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.
