💡 What is Achiever?

Achiever is an Executing talent in CliftonStrengths.

People with outstanding Achiever talent work very hard and possess remarkable stamina. They find great satisfaction in being busy and productive.

For Achievers, a day that goes by without accomplishing something feels incomplete. It is this “inner fire” that keeps them motivated, maintains their stamina, and sets the pace for the team. Achievers not only work hard, but also energize the entire team to take action.

✨ The Power of Achiever

When used properly, Achiever can help you:

  • Work hard and persevere, maintaining high performance over long periods of time.

  • Stay disciplined and push yourself, even when no one is watching.

  • Motivate your team with a “keep moving forward” spirit.

  • Get a sense of satisfaction from completion, then quickly move on to the next goal.


⚠️ Blind Spots - Blind spots to avoid

  • It's easy to get caught up in the constant grind of working, forgetting to take a break or reassess what's really important.

  • It is possible to put too much pressure and expectations on yourself, leading to a feeling of “never being enough.”

  • When working with people of different speeds, it's easy to lose patience or "take on all the work" because you want to move quickly.


🛠️ How to sharpen Achiever

  • Maintain discipline and a steady pace, especially on long-term or persistence projects.

  • Establish a “done – acknowledged – moved on” routine to maintain motivation and avoid the feeling of “running forever”.

  • Know when to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labor and strike a balance between work and rest.


💡 This is just a small part of how to develop Achiever . In Vietnam Strengths Academy workshops, you will be guided through specific methods to maximize Achiever and other talents.



🤝 Strengths that help Achievers shine

  • Talents that tend to amplify Achievers: Activator, Discipline, Responsibility, Focus, Competition, Maximizer

  • Talents that tend to moderate toward Achiever: Relator, Empathy, Individualization, Deliberative, Analytical, Includer


🌟 Conclusion
