Our Ocean City Summer Project staff team went through a Strengthsfinder training last week.
I enjoyed exploring the four domains under which all strengths fall.
I enjoyed thinking about how our organization functions with respect to these domains.
Based on my experience here's how I ranked the domains:
- Striving
- Impacting
- Relating
- Thinking
I'm very curious as to how you would rank our organizational strengths. I discovered that my personal strengths line up in this manner:
- Thinking
- Striving
- Impacting
- Relating
The fact that my number 1 is actually CCC's number 4 actually encouraged me! It provides a helpful grid to understand that not only are my strengths valued the least, but that it's not personal. As long as I choose to remain in the organization, I can expect frustration, resistance, and misunderstanding.
As I think about being a part of seeing redemptive organizational change, these challenges motivate more than discourage me. That's new for me, and definitely a work of the Lord!
How would you rank CCC or yourself in light of this grid?
