We all want to believe the playing field is level — that effort and contribution are recognised fairly. When fairness is compromised, even unintentionally, trust can erode fast.

This guide uses David Rock’s SCARF model to explore Fairness through the lens of the 34 CliftonStrengths® themes. It reveals how talents react when equity feels lost — and what restores balance and trust.

Whether you’re a manager navigating team dynamics, or a coach exploring client triggers, this guide brings clarity and depth.

Use it to:

• Spot when people feel treated unfairly — and the fight/flight/freeze that follows
• Identify what fairness looks like for each talent
• Create an environment of equity, transparency, and trust

💡 Try this: In your next group discussion, ask: “When have you felt things were unfair at work — and what helped restore balance?” It sparks honest conversation about values and culture.
