**CliftonStrengths Harmony®: Sức mạnh từ sự kiến tạo đồng thuận**

💡 What is Harmony?

Harmony is a strength within the Relationship Building group within CliftonStrengths.

People with a high Harmony talent are always looking for common ground. They don't like conflict; instead, they look for commonalities that people can agree on.

People with Harmony believe that prolonged conflict only slows down progress and damages morale. Instead of confrontation, they focus on practical, realistic things that help the group move forward together in a balanced and smooth way . Harmony is the “glue” that holds the team together.

✨ The Power of Harmony

When used properly, Harmony can become a “superpower” that helps you:

Bring calm amidst chaos .
Keep balance in a one-sided situation .
Be the glue that binds the team together .
Take a practical, pragmatic approach to problem solving.
Minimize conflict by finding common ground to build consensus .

⚠️ Blind Spots - Blind spots to avoid

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

Being misunderstood as avoiding conflict or lacking in opinions if not taking a stand when needed.
Tend to avoid difficult conversations , leading to procrastination in addressing important issues.
It is important to distinguish between healthy conflict and harmful conflict – not all conflict should be avoided.

🛠️ How to sharpen Harmony

You can start with simple things:

Ask neutral questions , which help to calm the atmosphere when the group is tense.
When you see a conflict, proactively ask for opinions from quiet people to broaden your perspective.
Facilitate group discussion in a collaborative spirit , e.g., “Do we have anything in common here?”

💡 This is just a small part of how to develop Harmony. In Vietnam Strengths Academy workshops, you will be equipped with specific methods to maximize Harmony and other strengths.
