Individuals with Context use the past to inform their present decisions. By understanding the unique history of individuals and groups, they can help build an inclusive environment that values diverse perspectives. Studying the past also gives them confidence in knowing which processes, decisions and actions worked and which didn’t work. In teams and organizations, Context helps ensure that decisions are well-considered and grounded in an understanding of what has happened before. Do you have high Context? Where have you seen this strength show up in your life? https://lnkd.in/guvaaNhk

In 2024, tapping into the power of CliftonStrengths proved more important than ever. In a fast-changing world, recognizing and leaning into what makes each person unique sparked stronger collaboration, elevated performance and fueled personal growth. By focusing on what people naturally excel at, teams unlocked hidden potential, built resilience and empowered leaders. Investing in these inherent strengths continues to shape a future full of growth innovation, and success. Scroll through to see some highlights. How did your strengths make a difference in 2024?

Those with dominant Relationship Building strengths (Adaptability, Connectedness, Developer, Empathy, Harmony, Includer, Individualization, Positivity and Relator) tend to reframe their work stress from the perspectives of others. They are more likely to consider how others they work with would feel about the same situation, to think about how their work affects others or to seek help from others. However, those who think about how others they work with would feel in the same situations actually experience higher levels of burnout than those who do not. Instead, Gallup research finds that a better strategy for individuals with dominant Relationship Building strengths is to think about how they have approached similar situations before. When they do this, they can see a 43% decrease in burnout symptoms. If you lead with Relationship Building strengths, how do you cope with burnout? https://lnkd.in/gu5UWCN9

In 2024, Gallup published the 11th edition of its Q12 Meta-Analysis, the most comprehensive global study linking employee engagement to team performance across industries. Drawing insights from over 3.3 million employees across more than 180,000 teams in 53 industries, this research demonstrates a clear, consistent pattern: engaged teams outperform in key organizational metrics, delivering stronger results and experiencing fewer setbacks — regardless of economic conditions. Teams in the top quartile of engagement see significantly higher performance on positive outcomes and markedly lower rates of negative outcomes compared to those in the bottom quartile.
