💡 What is Maximizer?

Maximizer is an Influencing talent in CliftonStrengths.

People with outstanding Maximizer talents focus on strengths as a way to promote excellence in themselves and their team. They are always looking for ways to turn something good into something even better.

With Maximizer, you tend to look at what’s already good rather than what’s not. You believe that taking a good strength and making it great is more valuable than fixing what’s not. This keeps you aiming for high standards and looking for ways to refine your results.

✨ The Power of Maximizer

When used properly, Maximizer can help you:

Recognize the strengths and outstanding potential of people, products, or ideas.
Focus on the best, instead of wasting energy fixing the weak.

⚠️ Blind Spots - Blind spots to avoid

Can be too perfectionist or “difficult” with themselves and others, easily putting pressure on the group.
Often prioritizing perfecting what is already good, can overlook the opportunity to upgrade from incomplete things.
There is a balance between perfection and completion – sometimes “perfect” is not the most optimal choice in reality.

🛠️ How to sharpen Maximizer
