Four Domains

CliftonStrengths themes are grouped into four domains that describe how individuals naturally contribute to success. Understanding these domains helps people recognize how they make things happen, influence others, build relationships, and process information.

Executing

People strong in this domain know how to make things happen. They work tirelessly to turn ideas into action and are often the ones others turn to for follow-through and dependability.

Achiever, Arranger, Belief, Consistency, Deliberative, Discipline, Focus, Responsibility, Restorative

Implementation, work ethic, organization, problem-solving, and delivering results.

Influencing

Those who lead with the Influencing domain help their team reach a broader audience. They can take charge, speak up, and ensure others are heard and inspired.

Activator, Command, Communication, Competition, Maximizer, Self-Assurance, Significance, Woo

Motivating others, gaining buy-in, selling ideas, and moving groups toward action.

Relationship Building

This domain is about the glue that holds teams together. Individuals strong in these themes build strong relationships that help groups become greater than the sum of their parts.

Adaptability, Connectedness, Developer, Empathy, Harmony, Includer, Individualization, Positivity, Relator

Team cohesion, emotional intelligence, nurturing, and personalized engagement.

Strategic Thinking

People in this domain focus on what could be. They absorb and analyze information to help teams make better decisions and plan for the future.

Analytical, Context, Futuristic, Ideation, Input, Intellection, Learner, Strategic

Visioning, planning, learning, and helping others see patterns and possibilities.
