Do you know What Drives Your Success? Does your direct supervisor know? Do your teammates know? Wouldn’t it be helpful if they did? Cangrade offers an assessment to help you understand your workplace preferences, personality characteristics and soft skill sets. I took the assessment and this is what I discovered.
The self-study group initiative at Boston PHP Meetup endorses this educational assessment and is a supplement to our Agile Appetizer offerings.
Assessment Details
Cangrade’s Professional Strengths Assessment delivers instant feedback on your core strengths, areas for growth and top motivation. It takes 14 minutes to complete. At the end of this assessment, you will receive a short report that outlines a few key insights that you might find interesting. Their AI technology hones in on the traits that boost your workplace performance, and the traits that might get in the way.
What Drives Your Success? My report reveals that my top professional strength is Goal Setting.
Goal Setting is the practice of identifying appropriate long- and short-term goals, crafting a plan that will enable you to pursue these goals effectively, and pursuing these plans in a measured fashion and even in the face of adversity. In challenging work environments where one must meet difficult objectives, this is often one of the most important skills an employee can have.
In addition, my report reveals my Top Development Priority and my Top Motivation. View My Strength Report for details.
If you aspire to a management role, knowing your strengths, and the strengths of those you interact with on a regular basis, offers you a competitive advantage. For a more comprehensive look at my strengths, access my Strengths Based Leadership profile available through the Gallup Organization.
