Strengths Based Leadership program
Do you have the opportunity to do what you do best every day?
Chances are, you do not. All too often, our natural talents goes untapped. From the cradle to the cubicle, we devote more time to fixing our shortcomings than to developing our strengths.
To help people uncover their talents, Gallup introduced the first version of its online assessment, StrengthsFinder, in the 2001 management book Now, Discover Your Strengths. The book spent more than five years on the bestseller lists and ignited a global conversation.
The StrengthsFinder research is based on the question ‘What if we studied what is right with people?’ As a result a philosophy was developed and is based on the assertion that individuals are able to gain far more when they expend effort to build on their greatest talents than when they spend a comparable amount of effort to remediate their weaknesses.
The StrengthsFinder program is about individuals realising their greatest talents, building them into strengths and being able to share those talents with their team which provides greater understanding of themselves and their team members. It’s about acknowledging and celebrating those things we do well and understanding the uniqueness of individuals particularly when it comes to building successful teams.
The Program has been divided into three parts:
· The completion of an online instrument prior to the workshop
· StrengthsFinder workshop or a Strengths based Leadership workshop (4 hour programs)
· Accountability Partner program (optional but recommended)
We have got outstanding results working with individuals and teams by transforming cultures, mindsets and team dynamics. This program comes highly recommended - see below!
