Energy drainers
Also referred to as non-strengths, these would be the shortest bars on the wheel which will drain our energy if we are expected to use them over a certain period of time. These could be competencies that are not necessarily our strengths (e.g. for some people detail orientation). Some energy drainers might be blockers to our performance while others that are not central to our role are not.

Understand the concept of energy drainers and how they relate to strengths in this short video.
You can find a transcript of the video below:
Out of the 24 strengths an individual will find strengths that energize them and find strengths that do not energize them.
Energy drainers are the strengths that do not energize us and can undermine our performance. Energy drainers are your lesser or non-strengths and can be a genuine blocker to achieving success.
