Do you yearn for a good challenge? Do you regularly step-up and take charge? In this episode, we are joined by Kevin Thiele and Petchell Luepke, both Gallup-Certified Strengths Coaches, to shine the spotlight on the CliftonStrengths® Command® talent theme Command. Petchell and Kevin speak about how their Command theme drives them to tackle challenges head-on...unafraid of confrontation. Rather than avoiding differences in opinion, they use their direct approach to explain their viewpoint, and then help others gain a new perspective or find clarity.   While this theme can tend to come on strong, our guests shared that there is an advocacy in their motivation. They enjoy being the voice for others, unafraid to speak up and face conflict with, as Kevin says, a ‘confident vulnerability.’ Join the conversation by leaving a comment with your thoughts and experiences on this theme...especially if Command is in your Top 5.
