The CliftonStrengths® for Leaders Report
CliftonStrengths for Leaders is a personalized report for anyone who leads or wants to lead. It shows how a person’s top 10 strengths work together to shape their leadership: where they give them an edge, where they might get in their way and how to put their strengths to work. A strengths-based approach to leadership helps more people see themselves as leaders and encourages others to see them that way too.
Personalized Insights for Strengths-Based Leadership
No two leaders are the same. Your CliftonStrengths profile is 1-in-33-million, and this report reflects that. Every piece of leadership advice reflects how your unique combination of strengths shows up in leadership.

Advice Based on Your Leadership Strengths, Designed for Your Development
Your CliftonStrengths for Leaders report includes leadership insights personalized to your 10 most dominant strengths. Here's what's inside.
Your Natural Advantage as a Leader.
An opening essay sets the foundation for the entire report. It describes how people experience you as a leader and how your leadership style comes through, describing who you are in that role based on your specific strengths.
Your Strengths Defined.
Your top 10 themes with definitions, outlining your core leadership strengths across the CliftonStrengths domains: Executing, Influencing, Relationship Building and Strategic Thinking.
What Makes You a Distinct Leader.
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 leadership 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 lead.
Four Pillars of Leadership: Synthesis and Self-Assessment.
This section examines your strengths across four dimensions every leader navigates: people, decisions, purpose and performance.
People
Decisions
Purpose
Performance
Each pillar includes a personalized narrative paragraph with tradeoffs so that you can see where your strengths are strongest and where you’ll need to be more deliberate.

Leaders Report Real Leadership Impact
Over 30 million people have taken CliftonStrengths.
I appreciate the directness of this report … for me, it's the appropriate tone to set when talking to a leader.
I saw my Individualization theme in a different way on this report, and for the first time. The first "hinder" statement startled me a bit, not that it isn't true, but because it is true. It's something I'm going to pay attention to and see how it emerges for me.
The content is scaled up to think bigger than self, and I think that's really useful. Especially for leaders trying to scale their impact beyond themselves.
