The Context 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 Context theme enjoy thinking about the past. They understand the present by researching its history.
Our clients complete the CliftonStrengths assessment to learn which of the 34 themes, like Context, 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 Context:
You look back. You look back because that is where the answers lie. You look back to understand the present.
From your vantage point, the present is unstable, a confusing clamour of competing voices. It is only by casting your mind back to an earlier time, a time when the plans were being drawn up, that the present regains its stability.
The earlier time was a simpler time. It was a time of blueprints. As you look back, you begin to see these blueprints emerge. You realize what the initial intentions were. These blueprints or intentions have since become so embellished that they are almost unrecognizable, but now this Context theme reveals them again. This understanding brings you confidence. No longer disoriented, you make better decisions because you sense the underlying structure.
You become a better partner because you understand how your colleagues came to be who they are. And counterintuitively, you become wiser about the future because you saw its seeds being sown in the past. Faced with new people and new situations, it will take you a little time to orient yourself, but you must give yourself this time.
You must discipline yourself to ask the questions and allow the blueprints to emerge because no matter what the situation if you haven’t seen the blueprints, you will have less confidence in your decisions.
How to Better Understand Your Context Theme
Making the most of your Context talents starts with gaining valuable insights into what you naturally do best.
