- Employees who do not use their strengths at work become detrimental to themselves and the organization that employes them
- There is minimal gain to improving your weaknesses
- 34 themes of talent were extracted from over 100,000 talent-based interviews conducted by Gallup and classified across four general categories - Striving, Thinking, Relating, and Influencing
