💡 What is Futuristic?

Futuristic is a talent within the Strategic Thinking group within CliftonStrengths.

People with strong Futuristic talent are deeply inspired by the future and what is possible. They energize others with their optimistic vision of the future.

With Futuristics, you often see the details of a brighter tomorrow as if projected on a wall. That image pulls you forward and helps others to see theirs as well. You are the one who “paints” the future – a picture of hope and opportunity.

✨ The Power of Futuristic

When used properly, Futuristic can help you:

Provides detailed forecasts, perspectives and visions for the future.
Inspire and energize with optimistic visualizations of tomorrow.
Orient the team beyond the present, connecting today's decisions to tomorrow's opportunities.

⚠️ Blind Spots - Blind spots to avoid

Futuristic is a great talent, but if you're not careful, you can fall into a few “traps”:

Focusing too much on the future can cause you to miss important details in the present.
Others may find you impatient when you dream too much about the future and neglect the work at hand.
Big ideas without a realistic roadmap can leave teammates overwhelmed or discouraged.

🛠️ How to sharpen Futuristic

You can start with simple things:

Visualize vivid future scenarios, using imagination to move the team forward.
Share forecasts and visions to fuel optimism and aspiration among the team.
Identify emerging trends, helping teams connect current actions to long-term opportunities.

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

🤝 The Strengths That Make Futuristic Shine
