Top Five StrengthsGallup's Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment shows that H. Lyke's top five strengths are:
Strategic
StrengthsFinder notes that strategic leaders have an "internal GPS" and a strong intuition: on their own, they can see clearly and anticipate pitfalls and successes before they come to fruition. Strategic
Individualization
StrengthsFinder notes that leaders with individualization "use knowledge about others to position them for personal successes": perceptive of each individual's areas of growth and potential. Individualization
Input
StrengthsFinder notes that individuals with input strengths always want to know more: they are investigative, knowledgeable, curious, and always resourceful in how they unwrap deeper understanding. Input
Analytical
StrengthsFinder notes that analytical leaders "search for reasons" and work to uncover "how patterns combine" as a way to create balance. They are objective and skeptical at their core, which leads to stability. Analytical
Self-Assurance
StrengthsFinder notes that self-assurance is found in those who may seem "unable to be swayed" but who also "see perspectives of others:" they tend to be focused, instinctive, and self-sufficient.Self-Assurance
+ Strategic Thinking Domain:
Three of Lyke's top five strengths (Strategic, Input, and Analytical) fall within the Strategic Thinking domain. StrengthFinder notes that these individuals "devote their time and talents to understand what is necessary to routinely put their team in the position to succeed." Additionally, "high-performing teams rely on people with strong Thinking themes to absorb and analyze information that informs better decisions."+ Strategic Thinking Domain:
In 2021, when Heather Lyke interned with Tammy Champa in Pine Island, MN she was able to work with Bethany von Steinbergs on best understanding each Clifton strength. Steinbergs showcases with her teams the power that comes from going visual with one's top five, which led to the illustration shown here.
Greek Goddess Themis, known as the lady of good counsel
Greek Goddess Themis, known as the lady of good counsel
- Strategic: Themis had the ability to foresee events, was intuitively self-aware, and shared her gifts with others whenever it contributed to the greater good
- Individualization: Remaining rooted in her experiences on earth, Themis helped others transcend to the heavens by aiding them in refining their skills and gifts
- Input: As "counselor to the gods," Themis gathered knowledge from sources and scholars, then she used her learning to inform her decisions and guidance
- Analytical: Themis defined means "that which is put in place;" therefore, Themis as goddess is the personification of finding balance and moral order.
- Self-Assurance: Often depicted with a sword, Themis could intuit fact from fiction (could cut to the quick), but always lead first with kindness and thought
- Strategic Thinking Domain: When paired with friend Athena, goddess of wisdom, the two worked together to turn ideas into action; both known for being at the right hand of power, Themis and Athena were strong, and often unseen, influences on the world
