Why Are We Providing this Experience for Students & Staff?
Strengths-based organizations celebrate and honor each person's talents — and leverage them to build a better, more complete group. CliftonStrengths supports students to reach greater success and engagement by helping them understand their natural strengths to create a campus dynamic that welcomes, values, and leverages each student's talents.
CliftonStrengths can support your success and engagement as a leader at Towson University by:
- Increasing your self-awareness. Effective leaders know what they do well, and they find ways to apply their talents authentically and productively.
- Deepening your knowledge and appreciation of others' talents. As you learn more about your own talents, you will begin to see the unique talents in others.
- Forming and maximizing teams. Understanding each team members' talents will give you new insights into how the team can perform to its full potential.
- Helping others to affirm, develop, and apply their talents. As a leader who understands your own talents and how to apply them productively, you can lead others to develop and apply their talents.
