Better business outcomes by leaning into your teams strengths

There are parts to a job that people love and there are parts that they would rather call in sick than have to do. It’s all part of the working dynamic that we have to maneuver as we lead people. 

We all know the saying that “one man's trash is another's treasure” — and we should apply this to how we work as well. The Clifton Strengths Finder is a tool that allows your team to understand the areas in which they thrive. 

If used effectively, you will be able to delegate work or assign projects that cater to the individual's strengths which will lead to better outcomes and happier more fulfilled teams. We all may still have to do the odd job that doesn’t bring us joy from time to time, but it will be made easier if your team has the opportunity to create meaningful work on the day to day. 

Pros — Very approachable. Quick and easy to implement.  

Cons — Strengths can vary throughout someone's career and life based on where they are at or how they have continued to develop.
