Main Discussion Post:nnPost a brief description of your identified strengths and explain how and why they are beneficial in your role as a nurse leader-manager.nnOne critical component in healthcare quality, growth, and an environment fostering leadership is organizations recognizing employee strengths. It is a common practice to focus on identified weaknesses; however, Buckingham (2011) suggests that if the focus is centralized on only the problem and fixing it, the problem continues to build and build. After completing The Gallup CliftonStrengths assessment, my top five dominant signature themes include achiever, learner, futuristic, relator, and competition. Being cognizant of these themes helps a nurse leader identify their most significant potential in strength development (Rath, 2007). These strengths can assist leadership in yourself, as well as other employees, by gleaning a purposeful career. Utilizing your strengths paints a path for clear professional direction (Cooper & Cottrell, 2010). Scoring highest as an achiever, I have a constant desire for achievement (Rath, 2007). I will put in the endless hours needed to research needed data for a work plan, investigate to correlate the most appropriate evidence-based strategy for a grant application or provide a simplistic yet detailed timeline of the tasks required to complete to achieve an organizational goal. An achiever is an executive domain category; I know how to think outside of the box to achieve the goal or target at hand
