Application Is The Real Measure
- Many organizations stall after naming and claiming CliftonStrengths and never reach meaningful application.
- Dean Jones says application is visible when people articulate strategies for using their talents to achieve goals.
Dean's Relator Discovery
- Dean Jones shares his personal example of discovering Relator among many influencing talents.
- That discovery changed his approach: he now builds relationships one-on-one before team work.
Avoid Creating A Priesthood
