Abstrakt:	Objectives: Successful leaders influence the group they represent. Effective surgical care is tied to its leadership climate. However, most surgical providers are not attuned to their individual strengths which if known they could leverage them within their teams. This study identifies leadership types within a department of surgery which may be used to better understand and cultivate their strengths. Methods: In 2022, 172 providers in an academic surgery department were offered the Gallup TM CliftonStrengths assessment, a proprietary instrument that maps 34 strengths across 4 domains of leadership. The assessment provides a respondent with their top 5 strengths and the domain in which they naturally "lead". Results: Of 172 providers, 127 (74%) completed the assessment. While providers have strengths in multiple domains, they "lead with" a specific domain. Mapped from the providers' top 10 strengths, the most common "lead with" domain for surgical providers was Executing : the ability to implement ideas and produce results. Strategic Thinking : those who are analytical and push teams forward and Relationship Building : the ability to create strong and effective teams were followed by the least common domain. Influencing : the ability to communicate ideas and lead others. Formal leaders were significantly more likely to lead with Strategic Thinking . There were no significant differences between APPs and physicians. Conclusion: A majority of surgical providers "lead with" the Gallup TM Executing domain. Those who lead with executing skills work tirelessly to produce outcomes. Learning to leverage the strengths of our teams to create cohesion and efficiency may improve engagement and retention.
