ChatGPT Reflects on CliftonStrengths (and its insights are frighteningly accurate)

AI is highly controversial. There are plenty of very legitimate concerns about it, and for the most part I've been both skeptical and wary. In fact, I posted a New York Times article on LinkedIn about it, along with my somewhat scathing comments.

But...

Over the past couple of weeks I've been experimenting a bit with ChatGPT. Naturally, I was ready to hate it; however, I'm finding that it can be incredibly helpful and (frighteningly) insightful.

Earlier this year I worked with an executive team to help them explore how to use their Strengths to be better collaborators. Yesterday, I wanted to see what ChatGPT had to say about it, so I submitted this request: "Write 4-6 sentences about how CliftonStrengths can help an executive team collaborate better."

Here's the response.

CliftonStrengths can be an invaluable tool for executive teams looking to collaborate more effectively. By identifying each executive's unique strengths, CliftonStrengths can help leaders better understand each other's perspectives and areas of expertise. This can lead to more productive discussions, more informed decision-making, and ultimately better outcomes for the organization. Additionally, by leveraging each executive's strengths, the team can more efficiently allocate resources and delegate responsibilities. CliftonStrengths can also help the team identify potential gaps in skills or perspectives, enabling them to proactively address these issues and build a more well-rounded team. Finally, by fostering a strengths-based culture, CliftonStrengths can create a sense of shared purpose and identity among the executive team, leading to greater alignment and a more cohesive leadership group.

Honestly, I'm not sure I could have said it better myself (gulp).
