Accountability is difficult to create when employees don’t know what great performance looks like.

Understanding employees’ strengths can help managers connect performance expectations to how each person can contribute at their best. Clear goals, frequent coaching and greater ownership of work can make accountability more personal and easier to sustain.

Teams today look different than they did even a decade ago.

They’re larger, more distributed and often more complex, with employees working across teams, locations and organizational boundaries. At the same time, new technologies such as AI are changing how work gets done, adding another dimension to how teams coordinate and collaborate.

As teamwork continues to evolve, understanding how people work together becomes even more important. That includes understanding the individual differences each person brings to a team. People’s natural talents can shape how they interpret expectations, contribute to discussions, respond to change and experience the same team environment differently.

Gallup’s latest CliftonStrengths research explores the changing landscape of teamwork and what strengths awareness can add to how teams understand and work with those differences.

Hybrid work has changed more than where people sit. It has also changed how teams build trust, establish expectations and collaborate across locations.

And for many employees, that shift is likely to last. As of May 2026, 52% of U.S. full-time, remote-capable employees worked in a hybrid arrangement, and the same percentage expect to continue working hybrid long term.

That makes understanding how people experience teamwork across locations increasingly important. Two people can work on the same hybrid team, receive the same guidance and still experience how that team operates differently.

CliftonStrengths offers one way to better understand those differences. Natural talents can influence what people notice and value in their interactions with others, whether those interactions happen across a table or on a screen.

How do you use your strengths to bring out the best in someone else?

John Hope Bryant, CEO of Operation HOPE, looks for what is strong in the person across the table, finds common ground and uses his Strategic talents to activate something in them they may have forgotten about themselves.

His philosophy extends even to disagreement: “Talk without being offensive. Listen without being defensive. And always leave even your adversary with their dignity.”

It’s a powerful way to think about strengths-based leadership: Know what you naturally do best. Then consider how you can use it to help others recognize what’s best in them.

In the latest episode of Leading With Strengths, Bryant joins Gallup CEO Jon Clifton to explore how his CliftonStrengths shape the way he leads and connects with others.

How can two people be part of the same team and walk away with different views of how well it works?

New Gallup research offers one piece of the answer: People with different patterns of talent can interpret and value aspects of the team experience differently.

People who lead with different CliftonStrengths domains reported meaningful differences in experiences related to clarity, belonging and trust.

Those differences make strengths awareness especially valuable on a team. Understanding a teammate’s strengths can give you greater context for how they contribute and how they may perceive what is happening around them.

The goal is not to create one team experience that everyone interprets the same. It is to build enough awareness to better understand those differences and work together more effectively.

What does it look like when strengths become part of how a campus helps students learn, lead and prepare for what comes next?

At Prairie View A&M University, that work is taking shape through PantherStrengths, the university’s name for Gallup’s CliftonStrengths program. Students are discovering their CliftonStrengths early in their college experience, career coaches are incorporating strengths into their work with students, and student champions are bringing strengths into mentoring and leadership.

This vision extends across campus. PVAMU President Tomikia P. LeGrande has challenged university leaders to imagine what could happen if students, faculty and staff better understood and applied their strengths.

For students, that means going beyond knowing their top five themes to understanding how their talents can shape how they learn, lead and approach their future.

Individual talent can drive exceptional performance. But on a team, its value extends beyond what one person can accomplish alone.

Gallup’s approach to teamwork follows a progression: understand and apply individual strengths, build powerful partnerships, then use the team’s collective talent to achieve shared goals.

High-performing strengths-based teams understand what each person contributes; connect those contributions to team success; and use that awareness to plan, prioritize and take action.

The goal is to build on what each person naturally does best and bring those talents together to strengthen team performance.

What do the best managers have in common?

Gallup research found that even across different CliftonStrengths profiles, people described their best managers similarly: They provide support, build trust and autonomy, communicate clearly, demonstrate empathy and fairness and recognize contributions.

That consistency reveals a shared foundation for effective management. Managers and those who develop them can build on that foundation by understanding how each manager’s individual strengths shape how they put these qualities into practice.

Every leader needs to make things happen, influence others, build relationships and think strategically. What effective leadership looks like across those demands, however, can vary from one leader to another.

Leadership development can easily become an exercise in trying to match your image of what a great leader should be. Instead, focus on how you can lead effectively using the talents that come most naturally to you.

That shifts the focus from imitation to intentionality: understanding how you lead best, where you may need to adapt and how to meet the demands of leadership without trying to become someone else.

09/17/2026

When building a strengths-based team, the combination of strengths matters. But what team members know about each other’s strengths may matter even more.

In a study of more than 11,000 teams across six industries, Gallup found that strengths awareness had twice the influence on team performance as the team’s strengths composition.

Rather than focusing on assembling the “right” combination of strengths, help team members understand and value the strengths of the people already on the team. That shared awareness gives team members a common language for recognizing differences, valuing what others contribute and working together more productively.
