Summary of StrengthFinder Results & Cognitive Factors
The results of the Clifton StrengthFinder concluded that my top five strengths are strategic, relator, analytical, ideation, and command (Gallup, Inc., 2012). Strategic leaders tend to be problem-solvers that are able to adapt to changes as they come. It is not uncommon for me to be responsible for multiple projects while providing input and guidance on all of them. I also possess the theme of relator. I only communicate with people I know.

Integration of new explosives requires evaluation of laws and testing which, will also cause changes in policy and procedures. It is important that I select leaders that can be objective and honest to integrate the material into the workforce. I was able to select an excellent team of diverse leaders. I included optimists and pessimists, go-getters, and conceptual thinkers. The combination of the leadership traits will keep the project on task and allow me work on other projects
