If this is one of your higher CliftonStrengths, you are sitting on something that is powerful. When fully developed, this trait becomes a strength that is deeply rooted in core values. Over the years, I have encountered enough different people to believe that most people have not determined their own personal core values.

To develop motivation, core values must come first. When someone is motivated, chances are strong that their motivation is rooted in their core values. When a leader taps into someone’s core values and figures out what they are, determining what motivates this person is not difficult. The leader’s job is now one of inspiration.
