Has anyone taken a StrengthsFinder assessment? What do you think of your results? Has it been useful for you?

It wasn’t useful to me personally, as the results were generally in line with any other behavioral assessment (DISC, Colors, etc). However, it was useful when my entire team took it and we all discussed our results - helped identify how our team should divide and conquer/interact

It’s useful for the team dynamic but essentially it just reveals how you perceive yourself and not necessarily your actual strengths

That’s what I’m worried of. I already took the test upon a career coach recommendation. Oh well

I took it in a previous job as part of some leadership development. Interesting to see the results and you can use them to drive your development if your role allows it.

The idea of strength finders is that nobody has to be or can be a rockstar at everything, but if you focus on what you’re good at, it should lead you to a more suited and fulfilling role. You can either build it into your current role, or you may feel you want to change directions.

Do I think there are better assessments out there though? Yes.

Is there a general expectation that a Partner has an MBA?

I doubt it's required at most firms but I'm a pretty senior staff and when I speak with Partners, they seem to speak with an MBA level of business knowledge which extends past their technical skillset.

I realize that's what makes them good Partners but it makes me wonder if I realistically need to get an MBA to keep growing and hit Partner.

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
