The CliftonStrengths® for Managers Report
CliftonStrengths for Managers is a personalized report for anyone who manages people or wants to. It shows how a person's top 10 strengths work together to shape the way they manage: where they give them an edge, where they might get in their way and how to put their strengths to work. When managers understand what they naturally do well, they can create more effective management and better outcomes for their teams.
Personalized Insights for Strengths-Based Management
No two managers are the same. Your CliftonStrengths profile is 1-in-33-million, and this report is built to match, with management advice customized just for you. Every insight reflects how your specific combination of strengths shows up in management.

Advice Based on Your Management Strengths, Designed for Your Development
Your CliftonStrengths for Managers report includes management insights personalized to your 10 most dominant strengths. Here's what's inside.
Your Natural Advantage as a Manager.
An opening essay sets the foundation for the entire report. It describes how people experience you as a manager, the instincts you rely on and the management identity that is distinctly yours.
Your Strengths Defined.
Your top 10 themes with definitions, outlining your core management strengths across the CliftonStrengths domains: Executing, Influencing, Relationship Building and Strategic Thinking.
What Makes You a Distinct Manager.
A highly personalized narrative written for your specific profile. Two people with the same top themes will receive content that is meaningfully different.
Theme-by-Theme Explorations.
Each theme has its own section with three parts:
What Makes This Strength Powerful for You — How the theme works in a management context, with explicit references to how your other themes influence it.
What You Need to Watch Out For — The real ways this strength could work against you and the consequences that come with them.
How to Apply This Theme for Greater Impact — Specific, situational actions for how you manage.
How You Affect Your Employees' Experience.
This section is unique to CliftonStrengths for Managers. It examines your strengths across four dimensions that define the employee experience and influence effective employee engagement strategies: onboard, engage, develop and growth.
Onboard
Engage
Develop
Growth
Each dimension includes a personalized narrative with tradeoffs so that you can see where your strengths are strongest and where you’ll need to be more deliberate. It’s harder to improve the employee experience without understanding how your strengths affect it.
