**CliftonStrengths Responsibility®: Sức mạnh từ sự trách nhiệm**

💡 What is Responsibility?

Responsibility is an Executing talent within CliftonStrengths.

People with a strong sense of Responsibility take responsibility for what they commit to. They adhere to strong values such as honesty and loyalty.

With Responsibility, a promise is a “commitment of honor”. You feel compelled to complete the task, no matter how big or small. This makes you a “trustworthy person” in the eyes of others, and also builds a solid personal reputation in work and life.

✨ The Power of Responsibility

When used properly, Responsibility can help you:

Keep your word and be trustworthy, become someone others can rely on.
Work ethically and principled, set high standards for yourself.
Take initiative to complete work without needing anyone to urge or supervise.
Spread trust and stability in the team, creating a sense of security for everyone.

⚠️ Blind Spots - Blind spots to avoid

Responsibility is a great talent, but if you're not careful, you can fall into some "traps":

Prone to being overloaded because of a tendency to take on too much work due to not wanting to say no.
Can take on work instead of sharing or asking others for help, for fear that others will not do it "correctly".
When tired or unappreciated, it's easy to feel taken advantage of or alone in your responsibilities.

🛠️ How to hone Responsibility

You can start with simple things:

Always keep your promises and fulfill your commitments, gain others' trust and assign important tasks.
Automatically takes responsibility for his part, without prompting – is someone the team can rely on.
Be proactive in choosing tasks that match your values and abilities, instead of taking on everything.
