STRATEGIC THINKING

1. Analytical
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE

You search for reasons and causes. You have the ability to think about all of the factors that might
affect a situation.

WHY YOUR ANALY TICAL IS UNIQUE

These personalized Strengths Insights are specific to your CliftonStrengths results.

It’s very likely that you process numerical information with ease and precision. You probably
perform mathematical calculations in your head. Objective and logical in your thinking, you
typically count or measure results, progress, productivity, profit, or attendance. Teaming
with like-minded individuals is a pleasure. Dealing with people who fail to support their
requests with logical numerical data is difficult and frustrating.

Driven by your talents, you often are regarded as a no-nonsense person. This perception is
amplified as you acquire more knowledge and skills in your area of specialization. To
perform your job, progress in your studies, pursue your hobbies, or plan your travel, you rely
on your natural and acquired abilities. These allow you to perform specific activities without
apparent effort.

Chances are good that you spend considerable time examining exactly why something has
gone wrong. Whenever you experience a personal or professional loss, make a mistake, or
experience failure, you tend to investigate. You are likely to be restless until you have
answers to all your basic questions: What? How? When? Where? Who? Why?

By nature, you purposely set aside time to assess whether your words and deeds measure
up to your core values. You are more reasonable than emotional when you make important
choices. Weighing the pros and cons is only the first step in your thinking process. The
essential second step involves asking yourself questions such as, “Does this decision
mirror what I hold to be true, right, and proper?” “If I choose to do this, am I being consistent
with what I have done in the past?” “Does the course of action I am about to take match the
most important priorities in my life?”

Copyright © 2000, 2018 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved. 3


BOB PEETERS | 05-17-2021

Because of your strengths, you constantly investigate the “hows” and “whys” of a given
situation. You find relationships between the final result and the events preceding it. These
links enable you to understand how things come into being. You draw logical conclusions.
These often broaden your knowledge base.

WHY YOU SUCCEED USING ANALY TICAL

Your natural ability to investigate, diagnose and identify patterns results in valuable insights
that are logical and well-thought-out. Your critical thinking helps clarify reality and provides
objectivity.

TAKE ACTION TO MA XIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL

Use your logical, objective approach to make important decisions.


• Identify credible sources you can rely on. Find helpful books, websites, experts or other
resources that you can use as references.
• Get involved in the planning stages of a new initiative or project so you can evaluate its
feasibility and direction before it gets too far along.
• Accept that sometimes you will need to take action before all the facts are in place.
• Choose assignments or work that allows you to analyze data, find patterns or organize
ideas.
• Develop your Analytical talents by sharing your ideas with other analytical minds who
specialize in your area.

WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS

• Your objective and fact-based approach to decision-making may seem skeptical or critical.
Keep in mind that others will have emotional, subjective and personal opinions — and that
their input is just as valuable as yours is.
• Because you ask many questions, people may think that you always doubt the validity of
their ideas, that you do not trust them and that you are tough to work with. Explain your
analysis so they will be more likely to trust your process and your motives.

BOB PEETERS | 05-17-2021

STRATEGIC THINKING

2. Input
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE

You have a need to collect and archive. You may accumulate information, ideas, artifacts or even
relationships.

WHY YOUR INPUT IS UNIQUE

These personalized Strengths Insights are specific to your CliftonStrengths results.

Driven by your talents, you challenge others with your elaborate, complicated, and difficult-
to-understand vocabulary. This is no accident. You mean to gain the advantage by
presenting yourself as an accomplished, knowledgeable, and trustworthy human being.
Your choice of words probably gives you an air of authority in discussions, conversations,
debates, or presentations. Language allows you to state your opinions so they sound
official and influence listeners.

Chances are good that you can capture the attention of experts with the force of your
voice and the power of your presence. You keep specialists’ interest by speaking their
language — that is, using the technical terminology that they rely on to converse or
correspond with one another. Your forte — that is, strong point — is your ability to describe,
step by step, how complicated procedures operate.

Instinctively, you eagerly welcome opportunities to think out loud about ideas, theories, or
philosophies. You derive pleasure from conversations that force you to ponder matters that
exist only in the realm of thought, not in reality.

Because of your strengths, you pay close attention to current events. Numerous people
merely recount what they heard, saw, or read. Typically you dive deeper into the topic. You
are likely to generate theories, concepts, or philosophies to explain the reasoning behind
newsmakers’ decisions. You routinely gather information about events, policy statements,
people, or crises. Your fresh insights are likely to draw equally engaged thinkers into the
conversation.

Copyright © 2000, 2018 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved. 5


BOB PEETERS | 05-17-2021

By nature, you have kept conversations centered on ideas since childhood. As a child, you
likely listened carefully to discussions among adults. This approach allowed you to join in
without rocking the boat — that is, without causing trouble where none was welcome.
Today, you continue to listen intently to collect information before adding your ideas,
contributing your insights, offering your suggestions, or asking your questions.

WHY YOU SUCCEED USING INPUT

You seek and store information. Your pursuit of mastery and access to knowledge
empowers you to make credible and well-informed decisions.

TAKE ACTION TO MA XIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL

Keep exploring; always be curious.


• Find out more about areas you want to specialize in. Consider jobs or volunteer
opportunities where you can acquire and share information every day, such as teaching,
journalism or research work.
• Regularly read books and articles that motivate you. Increase your vocabulary by collecting
new words and learning their meaning.
• Devise a system to store and easily locate information you have found so you can access it
quickly. Use whatever approach works best for you — a file for articles you have saved, a
database or spreadsheet, or a list of your favorite websites.
• Position yourself as an expert. Share your exceptional archive of facts, data and ideas with
others when they need help or advice.
• Seek out subject-matter experts who would be interested in knowing what you are learning
and who would find it stimulating to hear about the questions and ideas you generate
through your exploration.

WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS

• Unrestrained input can lead to intellectual or physical clutter. Consider occasionally taking
inventory and purging what you don’t need so that your surroundings — and your mind —
don’t become overloaded.
• You might have a tendency to give people so much information or so many resources that
you can overload and overwhelm them. Before you share your discoveries with others,
consider sorting out what is most meaningful so they don’t lose interest.

EXECUTING

3. Deliberative
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE

You are best described by the serious care you take in making decisions or choices. You anticipate
obstacles.

WHY YOUR DELIBER ATIVE IS UNIQUE

These personalized Strengths Insights are specific to your CliftonStrengths results.

Because of your strengths, you are intentional and purposeful about what you do. “Rash”
and “impulsive” are not adjectives most people would use to describe you. Typically you
think through things thoroughly before speaking or acting. By nature, you tend to be
businesslike in your approach to personal and professional issues.

By nature, you may remain silent rather than join conversations that involve the sharing of
intimate or personal information. Occasionally you try to change the topic altogether. If your
attempts are unsuccessful, you might excuse yourself from discussions about the
upbringing, finances, problems, physical conditions, or mental health of yourself or others.

Instinctively, you select your friends with great care. You are comfortable nurturing up-close
and personal relationships with these chosen individuals. The quality of your relationships
is much more important to you than the number of people who say you are their friend.

Chances are good that you refuse to shirk your obligations. You are eager to fulfill your
commitments. Often you are described as earnest. Your dependability is a hallmark of your
personality.

It’s very likely that you sometimes suppress your emotions, and you may be cautious and
reserved. Rather than add to the drama of a situation, you might choose to study the facts.
You may spend little time discussing your own or others’ feelings. To some extent, you
prefer to simply weigh the consequences of whatever you say and do. When people
understand this, they might be willing to wait for you to process facts or refine your
concepts and plans.

Copyright © 2000, 2018 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved. 7


BOB PEETERS | 05-17-2021

WHY YOU SUCCEED USING DELIBER ATIVE

You are thorough and conscientious. Through your natural anticipation and careful thought
process, you know how to reduce risks and prevent problems from arising.

TAKE ACTION TO MA XIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL

Stop, listen and assess before taking action.


• Rely on your good judgment, caution and conservative decision-making during times of
change. Your ability to identify and reduce risk is a powerful advantage.
• Be sure to set aside time for yourself. Try this: Reserve 20 minutes each day to sort through
your projects, plans and ideas. Use this time to gather information on options, assess
different situations or solidify choices you need to make. When you have the opportunity
and freedom to calculate, you will make better decisions.
• Help others think through what they want to do. Whatever your role is, you can become a
valuable sounding board because you identify and assess potential risks that others might
not see.
• Be ready to explain your careful decision-making process. Others might misread your
Deliberative talents as tentativeness or fear of action.
• Don’t let anyone push you into revealing too much about yourself too soon. You naturally
build friendships slowly, so take pride in your small circle of good friends.

WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS

• Because you take time to think carefully before making a decision, people might perceive
you as forgetful, slow or afraid to act. Be prepared to explain that you are none of those
things and that you are just considering all of the potential next steps.
• Your cautious and serious outlook on life might give the impression that you are a distant,
private and unapproachable person who doesn’t give much praise. Keep this in mind,
especially when the important people in your life need your approval and validation.

STRATEGIC THINKING

4. Futuristic
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE

You are inspired by the future and what could be. You energize others with your visions of the future.

WHY YOUR FUTURISTIC IS UNIQUE

These personalized Strengths Insights are specific to your CliftonStrengths results.

By nature, you possess a high level of skill and/or knowledge about specialized issues,
subjects, processes, or programs. You probably combine this expertise with your ability to
set definite goals for the coming weeks, months, years, or decades.

Chances are good that you have a capacity for envisioning what the coming months, years,
or decades could, should, or will be like. Frequently you are prompted to transform your
ideas into things you can touch, taste, see, smell, or hear.

Driven by your talents, you envision what you can accomplish tomorrow, next week, next
month, next year, or in the coming decades. Your goals and aspirations motivate you to
keep moving forward. The tension you feel when a deadline is fast approaching forces you
to concentrate on the right activities, discard irrelevant information, and not waste time on
intriguing distractions. Your one aim is to reach your objectives.

Because of your strengths, you forge ahead to build the life you envision. You reach your
goals by finding as many opportunities as possible to use your unique abilities and natural
gifts.

Instinctively, you enjoy brainstorming — that is, a group problem-solving technique that
involves the spontaneous contribution of ideas from all participants. Because you have
acquired special skills and knowledge, you can suggest a number of alternative solutions.
Your expertise often serves as a springboard for your own and others’ imaginations. This is
the case when you are encouraged to think about the future.

Copyright © 2000, 2018 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved. 9


BOB PEETERS | 05-17-2021

WHY YOU SUCCEED USING FUTURISTIC

You are a visionary. Your powerful anticipation and detailed visualization of a better future
can turn aspirations into reality. Your vision of tomorrow can inspire and push others to new
heights.

TAKE ACTION TO MA XIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL

Share your visions of a better future.


• Use as much detail as possible when you describe what you see on the horizon. Not
everyone can naturally fill in the gaps between the present and future like you can.
• Choose roles that allow you to contribute your ideas about the future. For example, you
might excel in entrepreneurial or startup situations.
• Help those who are struggling imagine their future. You naturally foresee a better tomorrow,
and that motivates you to overlook today’s pain and problems.
• Write down your ideas for the future to clarify your visions for yourself, your colleagues and
your friends.
• Read articles about technology, science and research to fuel your imagination. Thinking
about the future comes naturally to you, and learning more about it will inspire you.

WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS

• Because you live in the future, you may find it difficult to enjoy the present moment. While it
will always be important for you to have things to look forward to, don’t overlook
opportunities to experience and appreciate where you are now.
• Some people may dismiss your visions because they can’t see the future like you do.
Accept that you must address real issues today to get to a better tomorrow.

EXECUTING

5. Arranger
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE

You can organize, but you also have a flexibility that complements this ability. You like to determine how
all of the pieces and resources can be arranged for maximum productivity.

WHY YOUR ARR ANGER IS UNIQUE

These personalized Strengths Insights are specific to your CliftonStrengths results.

By nature, you fondly recall the attention or care given to you by an educator or coach. The
individual probably encouraged you as a youth. Consequently, you have an easy time
establishing a rapport with others. Your personable style and optimistic attitude attract
people.

It’s very likely that you rely on the diverse viewpoints of your teammates to spark
conversations that produce exciting ideas. You agree that “The whole is greater than the
sum of its parts.” When everyone asks questions, offers solutions, describes situations,
and raises issues, the group’s collective intelligence far exceeds that of any single person.

Driven by your talents, you enjoy partnering with teammates to complete certain tasks or to
reach particular goals.

Chances are good that you volunteer for additional duties. You really enjoy being given
authority over projects, individuals, or groups. You expect to be held accountable for the
results you produce as well as your words and deeds.

Because of your strengths, you embody the adage: “If you want to get something done, ask
a busy person.” You deliver peak performances when you can tackle a task. You experience
tremendous satisfaction each time you accomplish something. You probably like being
held accountable for your actions and words.

WHY YOU SUCCEED USING ARR ANGER

You have a natural ability to coordinate people and resources for maximum effectiveness.
Your creative flexibility in complex situations leads to greater efficiency.

Copyright © 2000, 2018 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved. 11


BOB PEETERS | 05-17-2021

TAKE ACTION TO MA XIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL

Improve effectiveness and efficiency by reorganizing resources.


• Volunteer your talent to organize. You enjoy being part of a team, and you can keep a group
project moving toward its goal when you make suggestions for improving your work
environment.
• Look for opportunities where you can multitask. Because of your expertise at juggling
schedules and people, you will enjoy managing all the moving parts.
• Explain to others that your flexibility doesn’t mean your priorities are constantly changing.
You are simply looking for better ways to implement them.
• Seek complex, dynamic work environments in which there are few routines.
• Challenge yourself to find ways to make even the most successful systems and
arrangements better.

WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS

• Your tendency to continually reorganize tasks, projects and people might confuse others.
Take time to explain your approach and how it can work better.
• People with dominant Arranger talents tend to claim responsibility for and take personal
ownership of projects, processes and people. Be aware that when you assume control
without asking, you might irritate others or discourage them from taking responsibility.

EXECUTING

6. Focus
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE

You can take a direction, follow through and make the corrections necessary to stay on track. You
prioritize, then act.

WHY YOU SUCCEED USING FOCUS

You have a powerful ability to prioritize, set goals and work efficiently. You avoid time-
consuming distractions and stay on track toward an overall objective.

TAKE ACTION TO MA XIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL

Set specific goals with timelines to motivate yourself.


• Attach timelines and measurements to your goals, and keep track of your progress.
Regularly meeting your objectives will prove that you are moving forward and inspire you to
do more.
• Try putting a daily “power hour” of complete focus on your calendar each week. During this
hour, turn off all your social media alerts, get away from your email, find a committed space
and work toward one important goal — and nothing else.
• Write down your goals and refer to them often. You will feel more in control of your life.

WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS

• You may focus so intently on your own work that you don’t notice when goals and priorities
change. Remember to occasionally stop what you’re doing so you can re-evaluate your
objectives.
• When you are absorbed in something, you may be slow to respond to others’ immediate
needs and appear emotionally distant. Acknowledge that sometimes, you will have to stop
and respond to interruptions from the important people in your life.

RELATIONSHIP BUILDING

7. Individualization
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE

You are intrigued with the unique qualities of each person. You have a gift for figuring out how different
people can work together productively.

WHY YOU SUCCEED USING INDIVIDUALIZ ATION

You notice and appreciate each person’s unique characteristics, and you don’t treat
everyone the same. Because you can see what makes each individual unique, you know
how to bring out their best.

TAKE ACTION TO MA XIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL

Appreciate the uniqueness in each person you meet.


• Become an expert at describing your own strengths and style. What is the best praise you
ever received? What is your best method for building relationships? How do you learn
best?
• Ask your coworkers and friends these same questions. Help them create a future based on
their strengths and what they do best.
• See the talents in others, and encourage them to follow their dreams. Help individuals
understand and maximize the power of their talents.

WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS

• You often know more about others than they know about you, and when people don’t
naturally show awareness of your likes, dislikes, motivations and needs, this may disappoint
you. Recognize that you will need to share your preferences with people, and don’t assume
they will instinctively know.
• Your natural impulse is to put individual needs and goals ahead of what is best for the
group. To prevent the appearance of favoritism and bias, acknowledge that sometimes you
will need to adjust your style for the greater good.

INFLUENCING

8. Competition
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE

You measure your progress against the performance of others. You strive to win first place and revel in
contests.

WHY YOU SUCCEED USING COMPETITION

You motivate yourself and others to a higher standard of performance. You can raise a
group’s achievement level by creating a culture of winning and aspiring to be the best.

TAKE ACTION TO MA XIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL

Aim for first place so you’ll always finish strong.


• Create daily measures of success for yourself and the teams you are on. Learn what it
takes to win consistently.
• List the performance scores that help you know where you stand every day. Decide which
ones you should pay attention to.
• Take the time to celebrate your wins. In your world, there is no victory without celebration.

WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS

• Be careful not to let your competitive spirit get in the way of your relationships. Not
everyone has your drive to win, and constantly comparing your performance to theirs
might offend them or hurt their feelings.
• Winning at all costs isn’t winning; it’s self-defeating. Make sure you maintain your principles
when you push yourself toward ultimate victory.

BOB PEETERS | 05-17-2021

RELATIONSHIP BUILDING

9. Relator
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE

You enjoy close relationships with others. You find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to
achieve a goal.

WHY YOU SUCCEED USING REL ATOR

You naturally form genuine and mutually rewarding one-on-one relationships. Your
authenticity allows you to build close, long-lasting connections that foster trust and
confidence.

TAKE ACTION TO MA XIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL

Connect deeply with the right people to gain friends for life.
• Try to get one-on-one time with people, rather than attempting to connect with them in a
group. This will help you build the deeper and trusting relationships you value most.
• Stay in contact with your friends, no matter how busy you are. Your closest relationships
energize you.
• Make sure people know that you are more interested in their character and personality than
in their status or job title. You might serve as a model for others.

WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS

• Because Relators typically do not trust others implicitly and people have to earn your trust
over time, some may think you are hard to get to know. Be aware of this perception with
new people you meet as well as with the people you see every day.
• Your tendency to spend more time with the people you know best might give the
impression that you are exclusive or unfriendly to those outside your inner circle. Consider
that you might be missing out on the benefits of widening the circle and getting to know
more people.

INFLUENCING

10. Woo
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE

You love the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over. You derive satisfaction from
breaking the ice and making a connection with someone.

WHY YOU SUCCEED USING WOO

You have an exceptional ability to win others over. Because you energize social situations
and naturally put strangers at ease, you help build networks by connecting people with
each other.

TAKE ACTION TO MA XIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL

Spend time every day interacting with people.


• Build and maintain your network of acquaintances by checking in with each person at least
once a month.
• Stay in touch with your peers in professional organizations to broaden your network and
increase the number of resources you can contact for help.
• Use your natural charm to help put reserved people at ease in social situations.

WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS

• Others may view you as shallow and insincere because you connect with people quickly
then move on. In social situations, when you are talking with someone and have the urge to
go meet someone else, try to remember that some people may just be getting
comfortable.
• You may have a tendency to reveal yourself and trust others too quickly. This may cause
more reserved people to step back from a relationship. Be aware that people’s personal
comfort zones differ, and you will need to adjust your approach if you want to win people
over.

Identify Your Unique Contribution: The


CliftonStrengths Domains
While your CliftonStrengths 34 profile helps you understand who you are, there is also power in knowing
how you make things happen, influence others, build relationships and process information. The framework
of the four CliftonStrengths domains — Executing, Influencing, Relationship Building and Strategic Thinking
— is another way to think about your CliftonStrengths and how you contribute when you join, create or lead
a team.

The best teams are made up of individuals who understand their own — and others’ — unique contribution
to the team. This awareness and appreciation empowers the team to be more cohesive, versatile,
productive and engaged.

However, be careful not to let the four domains limit your thinking. If you don’t have any top themes in a
particular domain, don’t worry. That doesn’t mean you can’t think strategically or build relationships, for
example. Everyone accomplishes tasks, influences others, builds relationships and processes information.
You just use your stronger themes in different domains to get to the same outcome.

The next page shows you how your unique CliftonStrengths profile sorts into the four domains. Knowing
which domain you lead with can help you understand your most powerful contribution.
