The Competition CliftonStrengths Theme forms part of the assessment carried out by us. Which helps you to discover what is that you do best naturally. Where your most potential lies, and what it is that makes you exceptional
People exceptionally talented in the Competition theme measure their progress against the performance of others. They strive to win first place and revel in contests.
Our clients complete the CliftonStrengths assessment to learn which of the 34 themes, like Competition, are found to be strongest in them.
The following theme description highlights the thoughts, feelings and behaviours you are likely to experience if you have strong Competition:
Competition is rooted in comparison. When you look at the world, you are instinctively aware of other people’s performance. Their performance is the ultimate yardstick.
No matter how hard you tried, no matter how worthy your intentions, if you reached your goal but did not outperform your peers, the achievement feels hollow. Like all competitors, you need other people. You need to compare. If you can compare, you can compete, and if you can compete, you can win. And when you win, there is no feeling quite like it.
You like measurement because it facilitates comparisons. You like other competitors because they invigorate you. You like contests because they must produce a winner. You particularly like contests where you know you have the inside track to be the winner.
Although you are gracious to your fellow competitors and even stoic in defeat, you don’t compete for the fun of competing. You compete to win. Over time you will come to avoid contests where winning seems unlikely.
How to Better Understand Your Competition Theme
Making the most of your Competition talents starts with gaining valuable insights into what you naturally do best.
How people with strong Competition talents describe themselves:
- “I am aware of my competitors.”
- “I need peers for comparison and motivation.”
- “I love a chance to go against the best.”
- “I hate coming in second.”
- “I bring an aspiration to be the best.”
