When your employees can use their natural talents in their job, they can  bring a positive presence to their work and can make a positive impact on the organization.  So what are some questions you as a manager can ask to gage what these talents are to then help best shape their roles and responsibilities? Here are some valuable ones from Gallup

1. What do you know you can do well but haven’t done yet?
2. What sorts of activities do you finish and think, “I can’t wait to do that again”? Or what are you doing — inside or outside work — when you’re truly enjoying yourself?
3. What have you done well that you didn’t need someone to explain how to do?
4. What have other people told you you’re great at doing?
5. What activities are you doing when you are unaware of time passing?
