Strengths Finder: Responsibility
By Pam Curtis
A theme that highlights your interactions with other people.
Your responsibility theme forces you to take psychological ownership for anything you commit to, and whether large or
small, you feel emotionally bound to follow it through to completion. Your good name depends on it. If for some reason you
cannot deliver, you automatically start to look for ways to make it up to the other person. Apologies are not enough. Excuses and rationalizations are totally unacceptable. You will not quite be able to live with yourself until you have made restitution. This conscientiousness, this near obsession for doing things right, and your impeccable ethics, combine to create your
reputation: utterly dependable. When assigning new responsibilities, people will look to you first because they know it will
get done. When people come to you for help—and they soon will—you must be selective. Your willingness to volunteer
may sometimes lead you to take on more than you should.
Responsibility sounds like:
I’m picky about who I work with. I need to know that they are going to follow through on their commitments and do what
they say they will do. People rely on me to be responsible, so I expect my teammates to be responsible, too.
I used to think that there was a piece of metal in my hand and a magnet on the ceiling. I would just volunteer for everything. I have had to learn how to manage that because not only would I end up with too much on my plate, but I would also
wind up thinking that everything was my fault. I realize now that I can’t be responsible for everything in the world.
Summary: The Responsibility theme is valuable to the campus community because of its emphasis on commitment, trust,
quality and high ethical standards. You serve as a role model encouraging others to be more dependable and trustworthy. Through your responsible approach to your work at (insert university name), you help us better accomplish our mission.
