How can leaders help their teams be productive and engaged?
In this episode we explore the importance of establishing clear shared team expectations and focusing on a singular key goal.
Based on current research by Gallup, only 47% of people know what's expected of them at work. At the same time, research by TeamStage indicates that more than 75% of employees strongly agree that collaboration is essential for team and organizational success. So what can leaders do to bridge this gap?

Do you long to make others feel valued and included?
On this episode of The Thoughtful Talents Show, e2grow & Gallup Certified Strengths Coaches Florence Hardy and Shaina Lane share their insights on the CliftonStrengths® Includer® talent theme. We learn those with Includer talents are great at building community and creating meaningful connections with others. They have a keen awareness of when others are feeling left out, and regularly use their ability to make others feel comfortable, heard, valued, and ultimately put them at ease.
Florence and Shaina highlight how their Includer talents allow them to create space while (and by) withholding judgments. They have a willingness to accept and invite others in, regardless of their opinions. They are uninterested in hierarchy, as they believe everyone has value and something to contribute. They share that unlike others who may try to influence (like WOO) or have an agenda to 'get stuff done' (like Achievers), those with Includer strictly want others to be and feel included, with no alternate agenda
For those with high Includer, realize that there can be issues when inviting too many people in. Use care not to invite 'too many cooks to the kitchen'. Setting clear expectations can help provide guardrails to reduce delays that could be caused by wanting all voices to be heard.
We invite you to share with us your personal experience with the Includer theme.

Is your life organized for maximum efficiency?
On this episode we welcome e2grow & Gallup Certified Strengths Coaches Kristen O’Shea and Ron Cheshire to explore with us the CliftonStrengths® Discipline® talent theme. They share how their Discipline talents allow them to plan resources such as time & energy for maximum efficiency and effectiveness. Setting routines and creating structure helps to reduce the cognitive load, allowing them to not waste precious resources on the day-to-day mundane duties. They often like to lend their talents to others, helping them to get organized. The help us understand that many people with Discipline talents consider themselves self-starters who prefer clear expectations. They want to be in control of their time, energy, and resources; feeling they can produce the best outcomes when given the autonomy to create necessary efficiencies.
If you have high Discipline, know that not everyone embraces your love of routines, it’s important to judge others' work based on the results...not the methods. If you’re working with someone with high Discipline talents, invite them to share with you ways to create structure for maximum efficiency.
We invite you to share with us your personal experience with the Discipline theme.

Do you regularly trust your gut instincts?
On this episode we explore the CliftonStrengths® Self-Assurance® talent theme with Gallup Certified Strengths Coaches, Dr. Jan Peters and Maureen Rabotin. Jan and Maureen share how their Self-Assurance talents provide them an internal direction and a general sense of 'I've got this’ in the face of uncertainty. Unlike some of the other influencing themes we’ve explored, this theme is not interested in comparisons. We learn this talent theme brings an energy and passion that helps them make decisions easily and move the project forward. Due to their strong presence, they share this theme’s energy can be contagious but also make them overly persuasive and not back down when challenged.
If you're working with others who share Self-Assurance, it’s good to know that they prefer to be asked for their input rather than being given strict direction. If they appear to be coming on too strong, it's best to ‘call them in’ and get curious about where their internal compass is leading, rather than ‘calling them out’ in front of others. Working with those with Self-Assurance, ask questions to help them articulate their passion and instinct, leading the way for the good of the group.
Share with us your personal insights into the Self-Assurance theme!
