What is the Strength-Based Leadership Survey and how does it work?

The Strength-Based Leadership Survey is designed to improve your performance. There is clear evidence that as your character (who you are) strengthens, you get better at what you do.

What is a “Rater” and why is feedback important?

People you know, like, and trust will be referred to as “Raters.” These are people who have your best interests at heart. This can include family, friends, teammates, bosses, colleagues, etc. These are the people who can confirm or help you confirm or gain new insights on how your strengths can enhance your performance.

What will you learn by using the survey?

You will receive scores that compare how you rated yourself on each virtue and how others evaluated you. This information provides you with a way to evaluate how closely your self-image matches the image others have of you.

What is the value of stories?

In the survey you and your raters will be asked to share stories about your greatest character strengths organized by virtue. Stories are an entry point to understand how others see us and how we see ourselves. Stories have the power to transform us because they give us insights to see the world in a different way. Stories are also an effective learning tool.

What is the Strength-Based Culture Survey?

This Strength-Based Culture Profile is designed to identify your culture’s character strengths defined by seven classical virtues (Trust, Compassion, Courage, Justice, Wisdom, Temperance, and Hope). It will also help assess engagement levels and discover and understand the culture as experienced by members of the team. There is clear evidence that virtue increases engagement, teamwork, and collaboration.
